Evolving of Daily Reporting Culture

A few years back, we introduced daily reporting culture at SkilledUp Life. This is how it works: Everyone submits an update of what they worked on every day on a dedicated Slack Channel including full-timers and me in addition to our volunteers. Our HR Performance Sub Team copies the updates to a Spreadsheet manually, which then totals the number of dates volunteered. From this, they reach out to none performing team members. Rules are: No updates for 3 consecutive days – warning sent No updates for 5 consecutive days – terminated. Latest addition (from today onwards): Each of the team…

First 100 km ride in 2023

I’m still recovering from an unexpected 100 km ride yesterday. When I do not ride longer distances, I start to doubt myself. I went out yesterday hoping to improve from the previously longest ride in 2023, which was 55 km. My hope was for a 70 km ride, as I assumed I was unfit. If I plan to ride a long way, I normally go deep south with a pit stop at Holmes Chapel Costa. Yesterday’s ride was without a pit stop, i.e. no coffee and bacon butty. My wife and kids bought me an Apple Watch a few years…

How can hooks be used with plugins that are not part of the theme within child themes in WordPress?

What ChatGPT said. In WordPress, hooks can be used to modify or extend the functionality of a plugin or theme without directly editing the plugin or theme files. To use hooks with plugins that are not part of the theme within child themes, follow these steps: Create a child theme: To create a child theme, create a new folder in the “wp-content/themes/” directory of your WordPress installation and name it whatever you want. Within this folder, create a style.css file and add the following code: /* Theme Name: Your Child Theme Name Template: Name of the Parent Theme */ Replace…

The New Gold!

Right now, the new gold seems to be in the data. Who has the most data on which AI Models can be run? Take edocr.com for example. They are sitting on so many documents. Just imagine unleashing ai models on extracted data from documents. Even Deal Lite has data. Our data sets are small due to our niche focus. Yet, it could have a greater value in the future.So, if you are building a business where there is data, whether extracted or not, you are accumulating gold. So keep doing what you do.

Cookies vs jwt authentication

I’m not a developer, but keen to understand Which one is the most used? Which one is the best? Which one is the latest? ChatGPT Response Cookies and JWT are two common methods for authentication in web applications. Here are some answers to your questions: The most used method for authentication is cookies. This is because cookies have been around for a long time and are widely supported by browsers and web servers. Many web frameworks and libraries also have built-in support for cookies. There is no single “best” method for authentication, as it largely depends on the specific requirements…

Collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

What happened? The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) said on 8th March 2023, that it was planning to raise $2bn in capital after losses on bonds it sold. This spooked investors and customers which resulted in the share price drop by about 60% by the next day. This resulted in customers withdrawing cash rapidly resulting in a “bank run”. Share price continued to drop as a result. According to Claire Lee, ex SVB employee, This is a comedy of errors; without the comedy. Time of death: after questionable decisions and clumsy communications, panic ensued on March 9th — then clients withdrew…
