Morfternight #79: A week off before a big change
Hello! I am Paolo Belcastro. You are reading this because you subscribed to Morfternight, the weekly newsletter about leadership, product management, distributed teams, and anything that tickles our brains. 👇 tl;drToday we keep it short as I am taking some time off within my time off :) As you know, I’ve been in Palermo, Sicily, for a month, and my daughter Z. has come to visit this week. Also, I have been thinking quite a bit about the best direction for Morfternight in the coming months, so I’ll share where I am at just below. Finally, I leave you with one of the funniest SNL sketches I have seen. 🤩 Welcome to the seven new Morfternighters who joined us last week. 📷 Photo of the weekPalazzina Cinese, Palermo - More Photos👋 Good Morfternight!I introduce Morfternight on the blog as follows:
On the About page for the newsletter, I say something similar:
These descriptions are broad enough to cover all the subjects I generally write about, but there lies the problem I have been trying to untangle recently. I feel pulled in different directions. On the one hand, I love to share photos, but I would also love to write about photography more. Conversely, the conversation about Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models is fascinating but polarizing. Last but not least, although I have taken a slight step back from product, leadership, and the distributed world during my sabbatical, I’ll be back to work and those subjects in a month. Speaking of product, if there is one thing I know is that trying to please everyone means becoming average and mediocre and not loved by anyone. As a result, I decided to split Morfternight into three sections:
I’ll send them on different days to be determined. You won’t have anything to do if you are interested in all of them. But, if not, you can unsubscribe from the one(s) you don’t want to receive and keep the other(s). Hopefully, I’ll reach more readers by being more focused than with a general format like today. 🗺️ Three places to visit today
📺 Traffic Altercation on SNLHere’s another much funnier video that offers great insight into how we behave when we feel protected by our cars or computer screens. Remember, this is played live… 👨🏻💻 From the blog, last weekIt was NOT a quiet week for the blog, but not in the most visible way. I relaunched paolo.blog with a new theme that is much lighter and faster than previously and works much better on mobile devices. The content hasn’t changed; you should find everything in the same places. That's it for today!I write and publish photos on paolo.blog If you know someone who could enjoy Morfternight, share it with them! 🤩 Cheers! |
