Is it possible that the US DOD and/or CIA has a plan to accelerate the destabilization of Iran given these conditions?
Wouldn't it be in the best interests of the US to see that happen?

Enjoy Sardinia today.
It's going to be raining hard tomorrow 😥

Enjoy Moses in Rome today.

Enjoy Rome today.

A highschool classmate died last weekend. I just found out. Funeral was this morning.
She was way too young.

Went to bed Saturday night and didn't wake up.

We were friends many decades ago. A year ago I was planning a trip back home and we tried to meet up. Schedules didn't align. We promised to try again next time.

Now she's dead.

Look around you today. If you are alive, then BE alive. This is the only moment we have...right now.

And be a good person while doing it.

Good bye Jennifer.😥

Enjoy the Spanish Steps in Rome tonight.

Rome is beautiful and warm today.

Are they trying to send a message? 😜
Humans are so....

But leave it to my wife to plan on visiting 2 cities each on two islands half way around the world with connections and rental cars.

I'll need some sort of talisman to make this all come together.

I think I just finished planning our big vacation. We leave on Thursday morning.

Every hour is planned. I know it will not work out that way, but at least we can get back on track if we want to see certain things.

Lots of driving, too. I made a bunch of personal Google maps and printed them for backup.

There is a LOT of room for improvement and automation in this vacation planning space. I can see great opportunities for AI to make this easier and faster.

This past week I've been documenting the process I thought I understood months ago. I thought I needed only about 3 modules.

I just counted 56 process steps this morning.

I look at documentation like playing a piano. If it doesn't sound right, play it differently.

I'm starting off using a tabular format to get the macro perspective. That's the 56 processes.

The flowchart should be more simple and will be informed by the tabular format.

Better than bad code!

(CoSo isn't pushing notifications, so I just saw this now)

I think flowcharting is an excellent way of getting your thoughts clear. Your process does sound complex. But, if you don't try to flowchart it, you may be allowing it to become more complex than it has to be.

I often iterate on the flowchart. Yes/No branching (Questions that can only be answered as Y/N) is a great exercise to determine what is most important at what time.

If you are so inclined and fortunate, time to order flowers for delivery to your mother for Mother's Day. Those florists can cut off orders if you wait too long.

Biden will be in San Francisco on Thursday. You should hear the sounds of helicopters overhead and vacuum cleaners near the ground sucking up donations.

Is that a martini in the middle of the hanging-cross? 😜

I do not. But, I have found that structuring your requirements in a tabular format is adequate. So, a spreadsheet is how I start.

Flesh out the Design Principles first. They evolve as you progress.

I'm only now starting to understand how to systematically build UX requirements. So, I'm no expert.

Process design is ok to start with tabular format. But, flowcharts are still the best way to finish.

No problem is worth fixing unless you know how it breaks a valuable best-practice.

The Structure of a Best Practice:
-Description
-Trigger Event
-End-State
-Stakeholders, Orgs & Roles
-Systems
-Pre-Existing Conditions
-Scope
-Steps
-Metrics

The context of Problems that cause failure:
-Problems within Pre-Existing Conditions
-Problems within Steps

First, understand what Success looks like. Then understand how the problem makes it Unsuccessful.

It looks delicious!

I'm also still on the non-technical side. It's my day-job. I write requirements, specs and design process flows for clients.
Then AI showed me that I could actually code. After a year coding with AI, I've been able to make a lot of progress building an MVP. I'd have needed 2-3 engineers to do what I've built by myself.
