Super cool, hope a similar write up appears for nodered in enterprise middleware, like replacing mulesoft.

riekus commented on Mapping pedestrian traffic light timing in Sydney, Australia jakecoppinger.com/2023/06... · Posted by u/jakecopp
Most folks in the city just walk through the red light when there's no traffic - I've seen them fine folks in waves around Central and Town Hall.
As an European which spend 4 years in Sydney recently I was always surprised at the opposite. Every after going out at midnight, Hurds of people would be waiting for a red light with no car/traffic in sight for a mile. I always jaywalk, feel particularly upset that a computer is telling me to wait for a save time, without context, while I can obviously tell it's save.
Recently discussed this behaviour in Sydney, remember it was particularly bad around Surry hills
Still looking for a nice setup with JS. Tried some notebook promises with danfoJS but couldn't find something ergonomic

So having described Adult ADD/ADHD in excruciating detail without ever using the actual terms, now what?
Amen

This closely resembles the value that I can provide to a company, but I want to add something on top of that.
A manager can assign me any task, and know that it will get done. When there are blockers, the manager is notified. I think this is a huge benefit.
Same for me, I don't see that high responsibility amoung a lot of my colleagues. I am about to get promoted, and I am durning down the offer since I am currently doing all those wildcard jobs, even outside working hours, because I enjoy them.
But when you expect me to do them, it is different and you need to compensate!

I have struggled with this myself for a long time. I feel gratefull for having stumbled upon this article.
What i just want to share here is this quote which I heard a couple of years ago and will never forget.
Did you know the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none"? Apparently this quote is only half of the full quote, which is.
"A Jack of all trades is a master of none, but better then a master of one"
-- I also think that a lot of people have a misconception about this kind of person. It is not someone with a big skillset but likely someone with ADHD, this trait, for me comes with HUGE downsides, as in, my biggest wish is to start a startup, but this trait is preventing me to finish almost anything. I have a huge backlog of unfinished side projects, i work on them day/night until I know i got it (meaning i have figured it out, it works, it is possible), and then I lose my interest and start exploring new ideas and testing if these are feasible.
I am currently trailing ADHD pills to litterly NOT be this person. And it feels amazing to look forward in planning, be prepared and structured.

This is targeted at a would-be wildcard manager, but for those of you who identify this way, how do you describe this skillset? I’m a combination product manager, data engineer, strategy consultant, and UX/UI designer.
While everyone I’ve ever worked with sees that I really am capable across those roles in time, it’s been challenging to convey the breadth of expertise to a hiring manager, without seeming quite arrogant (Mr. “I can do anything”).
I identify myself with the wildcard person. I would adjust my resume to lean more towards the hiring position. After hirin they get to know the swiss army knife.

Not an org-mode user.
Would this be a set-up that creates an agenda that works (by using 2 extensions)?

Dataview is such a great extension.
this is great, thanks!

Joplin stores files as separate markdown files, and the database is just an index for search and metadata.
I'm not a huge fan of Joplin's UX, but not having to pay for sync (and being able to choose the backend for sync) is important enough to me that it is a differentiator greater than the overall UX. I can point all of my Joplin installs to the same S3 bucket and boom done.
I'm hearing that with Obsidian you can use OneDrive/iCloud/Dropbox/etc for sync but that is all based on the sync provider. To me that brings ambiguity about how concurrency and conflict resolution are dealt with, since the app kinda capitulates that to the external storage engine right?
I have just setup Obsidian with syncthing and works like magic.

I used Joplin, an open source note-taking app that works with any nextCloud/ownCloud/WebDAV server, notably your own self-hosted ones.
I also like it simply because I have an Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows; Joplin has clients for nearly everything.
No more sync issue. And the data is all MINE, mine only.
What i am using as well, it just works. I am testdriving obsidian and like the interface a bit more bit sync isn't like Joplin.
