If you insist on misgendering me during your tattoo then I'm charging you double. Sorry, but if you insist I'm a man then it's a known fact that men earn more than women. Call it a "sir" charge.

“To avoid being branded as negative, we don't criticise the status quo. But every time we withhold our thoughts, we rob ourselves and our colleagues of small moments of learning.”

ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences.

I asked a friend, who’s an SDE at a company know for design what they think a UX Designer does.
“It’s like having one engineer in the team that doesn’t write code and isn’t sure how software works.”

“Our mental operating systems are running on old firmware: Where you'd succeed if you trusted authority and followed instructions. The update requires us to ask questions that might not have answers, try things that might not work, and dare to offer what no one else can.”
