Stuff I wrote
Duck Alignment Academy
- AIANYF: Acronyms & Initialisms Are Not Your Friends — Acronyms can be confusing when they’re unfamiliar to your reader. Err on the side of explaining, even if you don’t think you need to.
- Write standard operating procedures — When you document how to execute a process, that ensures you’ll do it right the next time. This helps your future self and your successors.
- It’s better to be clear than correct — Your prose is not code; it will not fail because you forgot a semicolon. Prefer being understood to strict adherence to grammatical rules.
- What you’re measuring is different from how you measure it —Start with understanding the “why?” behind what you’re trying to measure. Then figure out the measurements, knowing they’ll be imperfect.
Lafayette Eats
- Westside Diner — Just because it’s 2pm, that doesn’t mean it’s too late for breakfast food. And this is good food.
