Breaking Nice Things

In my last inaugural Quarterly post I asked, "Can we have nice things in Philly?" We're actively testing that hypothesis--all the improvements around the city for the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence are nice things calling out to Philly's better angels to protect and appreciate and maintain them.

It's weirdly enjoyable seeing what images various network administrators like to use as the placeholder image while the Anubis bot filters are checking that I'm not some malicious automation before showing me a page. Top favorite so far is a cartoon cat with a book and eyeglasses.

✅ Today's Goals:

- Work on some handwritten docs for LocalCents to accompany new changes to allow all async: true test modules.
- Maybe finally get into the wayfinder session for next epic. (Been a carryover for like a week now.)
- Lunch with my sister.
- Blog content work.

WTF... I use Slack at work and now app integrations send marketing spam through that channel as well as email.
