Ever feel like your house is one big junk drawer for your job, your hobbies, your dreams, and your daily chaos? Like your kitchen table is now a desk, your closet is holding camera gear, and everywhere you look is just one more to-do staring back at you? In this episode, I open up about the sneaky stowaway that came with working from home: work clutter — physical, emotional, and digital. Whether you're running a business from your basement, balancing a hybrid job, or trying to keep your crafting chaos under control, this episode will help you draw a line (maybe even build a wall!) between your home and your hustle. We unpack why work-from-home clutter is so overwhelming — and what you can actually do about it. I'm sharing real strategies that have helped me survive running a business with a family of five and a house full of bins, binders, bees (yes, bees), and big feelings. Whether you're a crafter, a creator, or just tired of your job living rent-free in your living room — this episode will leave you feeling inspired, capable, and ready to take back your space. ✨ We talk about: - Why your home feels like it's bursting at the seams — and what to do first - The truth about hybrid work clutter (and why it's the worst) - The 90-day rule for work stuff you haven't used - How to set boundaries when your office is your kitchen - The power of zoning and why clutter needs “walls” - The hidden mental load of hobby clutter (and how to deal with it)

Omar Abuhashish of Reform talks about scaling without increasing operational overheads; why AI isn't just a tool; & redefining what's possible in supply chain.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [04.23] Omar's background and his journey of discovery in supply chain. “I'm a builder at heart, and I love solving very challenging problems. I went to school and studied the hardware AND the software to see what's possible and what solutions I can build.” “I really wanted to go after a foundational industry with a lot of room for improvement, but at the forefront of innovation, where there's room for opportunity and challenges that can be solved with the best technologies.” [07.28] The big challenges Omar saw as he became increasingly interested in global transportation networks, and how they led him to establish Reform. “I really noticed how operationally intensive a lot of the workflows are. There a lot of people doing the same job, the data is siloed, things are living on paper… I just felt there was a clear way to improve all of this.” [11.21] An overview of Reform – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. [14.29] The ideal client for Reform, and why they're putting a focus on duty drawback providers, having helped one provider reduce process time on a project from 450 hours to 40 minutes. [19.13] Reform's vision for AI in supply chain, why it isn't just a tool to help businesses reach a goal, and how it's going to transform how both businesses and the industry operate in the coming years. “Customers deserve much quicker turnaround times, companies deserve higher margins, higher revenues per employee, and employees actually doing what they're best at.” [23.34] How Reform's AI-first platform can help customers automate up to 90% of their manual freight operations. “Manual flows, looking at a stack of paper, sifting through them, entering data – that's the first step. The second step is actually synthesizing the data and doing some manipulation and reasoning, before it's placed in the system. The third is to start taking action.” [28.00] Some of the key features within Reform's workflow automation platform, what teams can do with it, and the different sets of teams that can use the platform. “One of the biggest challenges outside of the manual work is that, even when the work is done, there's still no visibility, both internally and to the customer. It's super important to actually make sense of that data.” [30.09] How Reform can help customers navigate complexity in the midst of disruption and manage exceptions. [33.34] The impact Reform can have at a business level and, with its mission to transform how freight moves, the impact it will also have on the industry. [36.02] A case study detailing how Reform helped a mid-size freight forwarder automate manual processes, saving approximately 1500 hours per month, optimizing processes, and allowing them to scale without adding more headcount. [40.25] Reform's special offer for Let's Talk Supply Chain customers.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Reform's website to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into the challenges of burnout and overwork, discussing how developers can regain control over their time. By emphasizing the importance of finding balance in software development, they offer practical techniques for staying productive without compromising well-being. Rethinking Hustle Culture in Software Development “Productivity isn't about motion. It's about momentum—in the right direction.” – Rob Broadhead The myth of endless hustle runs deep in tech. Developers often mistake working late nights for progress—but it usually leads to burnout and declining code quality. The key to achieving balance in software development is recognizing when it's time to slow down. Warning Signs You're Losing Balance as a Developer Declining communication or code quality Constant frustration or tunnel vision Difficulty disconnecting from work Feeling like you're always behind The solution often lies not in working harder—but in pausing with purpose. Using Strategic Pauses to Regain Balance in Software Development One of the most effective ways of finding balance in software development is to embrace micro and macro pauses. These breaks help reset your mindset and restore focus. Micro breaks: Pomodoro sprints, quick walks, or code reviews Macro breaks: Weekend retreats, sabbaticals, or screen-free days Michael notes that even seasoned pros struggle with stepping away. But taking intentional time off isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Developer Tip: Code Commit and Mental Reset When feeling overwhelmed, commit your progress, walk away, and revisit it later with a fresh mindset. This small act can realign your thinking and productivity. The Role of Pivoting in Achieving Work-Life Balance in Tech Sometimes a pause isn't enough—you need to pivot. And in the context of finding balance in software development, pivoting means realigning your goals, projects, or even your work relationships. Types of pivots discussed: Switching tools or tech stacks Killing ineffective features Saying no to toxic clients Shifting job roles or responsibilities When to Pivot for Developer Success Are you stuck solving the wrong problem? Are sunk costs keeping you on the wrong path? Is your current direction still aligned with your goals? If not, it may be time to pivot and prioritize balance. Tools and Tactics for Finding Balance in Software Careers To close the episode, Rob and Michael outline several tools for creating balance in your developer workflow: Timeboxing and Pomodoro sessions Weekly journaling to identify stress triggers Asynchronous communication to reduce meetings Workspace adjustments for deep work vs. ideation Optimize Your Work Environment for Software Development Balance Experiment with different workspaces for different tasks—coding, brainstorming, or planning. These physical cues help your brain switch gears and stay fresh. Final Thoughts: Building a Sustainable Career in Software Development Finding balance in software development is more than a productivity hack—it's a mindset shift. Whether you're pausing for five minutes or pivoting away from a demanding client, your ability to reset and refocus determines long-term success. When developers learn to pause with purpose and pivot with intention, they don't just write better code—they build better careers.

The 2025 generative AI image market is a trade-off between aesthetic quality, instruction-following, and user control. This episode analyzes the key platforms, comparing Midjourney's artistic output against the superior text generation and prompt adherence of GPT-4o and Imagen 4, the commercial safety of Adobe Firefly, and the total customization of Stable Diffusion. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-25 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY. The State of the Market The market is split by three core philosophies: The "Artist" (Midjourney): Prioritizes aesthetic excellence and cinematic output, sacrificing precise user control and instruction following. The "Collaborator" (GPT-4o, Imagen 4): Extensions of LLMs that excel at conversational co-creation, complex instruction following, and integration into productivity workflows. The "Sovereign Toolkit" (Stable Diffusion): An open-source engine offering users unparalleled control, customization, and privacy in exchange for technical engagement. Table 1: 2025 Generative AI Image Tool At-a-Glance Comparison Tool Parent Company Access Method(s) Pricing Core Strength Best For Midjourney v7 Midjourney, Inc. Web App, Discord Subscription Artistic Aesthetics & Photorealism Fine Art, Concept Design, Stylized Visuals GPT-4o OpenAI ChatGPT, API Freemium/Sub Conversational Control & Instruction Following Marketing Materials, UI/UX Mockups, Logos Google Imagen 4 Google Gemini, Workspace, Vertex AI Freemium/Sub Ecosystem Integration & Speed Business Presentations, Educational Content Stable Diffusion 3 Stability AI Local Install, Web UIs, API Open Source Ultimate Customization & Control Developers, Power Users, Bespoke Workflows Adobe Firefly Adobe Creative Cloud Apps, Web App Subscription Commercial Safety & Workflow Integration Professional Designers, Agencies, Enterprise Core Platforms Midjourney v7: Premium choice for artistic quality. Features: Web UI with Draft Mode, user personalization, emerging video/3D. Weaknesses: Poor text generation, poor prompt adherence, public images on cheap plans, no API/bans automation. OpenAI GPT-4o: An intelligent co-creator for controlled generation. Features: Conversational refinement, superior text rendering, understands uploaded image context. Weaknesses: Slower than competitors, generates one image at a time, strict content filters. Google Imagen 4: Pragmatic tool focused on speed and ecosystem integration. Features: High-quality photorealism, fast generation, strong text rendering, multilingual. Weaknesses: Less artistic flair; value is dependent on Google ecosystem investment. Stable Diffusion 3: Open-source engine for maximum user control. Features: MMDiT architecture improves prompt/text handling, scalable models, vast ecosystem (LoRAs/ControlNet). Weaknesses: Steep learning curve, quality is user-dependent. Adobe Firefly: Focused on commercial safety and professional workflow integration. Features: Trained on Adobe Stock for legal indemnity, Generative Fill/Expand tools. Weaknesses: Creative range limited by training data, requires Adobe subscription/credits. Tools and Concepts In-painting: Modifying a masked area inside an image. Out-painting: Extending an image beyond its original borders. LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation): A small file that applies a fine-tuned style, character, or concept to a base model. ControlNet: Uses a reference image (e.g., pose, sketch) to enforce the composition, structure, or pose of the output. A1111 vs. ComfyUI: Two main UIs for Stable Diffusion. A1111 is a beginner-friendly tabbed interface; ComfyUI is a node-based interface for complex, efficient, and automated workflows. Workflows "Best of Both Worlds": Generate aesthetic base images in Midjourney, then composite, edit, and add text with precision in Photoshop/Firefly. Single-Ecosystem: Work entirely within Adobe Creative Cloud or Google Workspace for seamless integration, commercial safety (Adobe), and convenience (Google). "Build Your Own Factory": Use ComfyUI to build automated, multi-step pipelines for consistent character generation, advanced upscaling, and video. Decision Framework Choose by Goal: Fine Art/Concept Art: Midjourney. Logos/Ads with Text: GPT-4o, Google Imagen 4, or specialist Ideogram. Consistent Character in Specific Pose: Stable Diffusion with a Character LoRA and ControlNet (OpenPose). Editing/Expanding an Existing Photo: Adobe Photoshop with Firefly. Exclusion Rules: If you need legible text, exclude Midjourney. If you need absolute privacy or zero cost (post-hardware), Stable Diffusion is the only option. If you need guaranteed commercial legal safety, use Adobe Firefly. If you need an API for a product, use OpenAI or Google; automating Midjourney is a bannable offense.

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, we chat with Patrick Duffy, Product Manager at Material Security, on Securing the Modern Workspace. The conversation will include discussions about the increased adoption of cloud office suites, limitations of traditional security approaches, and a deep dive into how Material Security is tackling issues such as securing email and data, identity threat detection, and posture management.Stepping back a bit before we get too specific, we've seen major fundamental shifts in the way organizations work and operate today, including widespread adoption of Cloud Office Suites (e.g., Google Workspaces, Microsoft 365, etc.). How have these shifts changed the threat landscape, and what sort of issues are we seeing with traditional security practices when it comes to securing these environments?We know phishing and email attacks are common and critical to protect against, but what about challenges around visibility of accounts/activity, sensitive data, and secure configurations and posture?Getting more specific to Material, can you help us understand how you all approach this problem space from a platform and offering perspective? What are some key features and abilities Material Security customers utilize to secure their cloud office suite environments, and what threats do they help against?What are some key differentiators for Material compared to some of the other vendors working on this problem, or even how do you all differ from some of the native security capabilities of environments such as M365 or Google Workspace?This space continues to evolve, both in terms of the cloud workspace environments and their usage by organizations and the relevant threats. How is Material preparing for these changes, whether it's the widespread adoption of AI, increased complexity, and so onIt's always great to hear some first-hand use cases and applications. Can you share some examples where Material Security has found success with specific customers and users of the solution?We've covered everything from the pitfalls and shortcomings of traditional security approaches to cloud office suites to where the market is headed. Where can folks learn more about Material, and what should we keep an eye out for next?

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're just missing context. In this episode, I unpack the neuroscience-backed strategy that helps high performers get into flow faster without burning out. We're talking physical cues, brain states, music, clothing, space, and your body's subtle language. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why your performance is being hijacked by your physical surroundings ↠ What neuroscience says about “context switches” and productivity ↠ How to anchor your environment to signal your brain into work mode ↠ The "Work Like You Work Out" method (and why it changes everything) ↠ The three switches that get your brain to focus instantly: space, clothes, and sound ↠ Why the music you listen to could be your secret performance tool This episode is for the high performers who want to stop forcing themselves into productivity and start designing it intelligently.   PS.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Near Memo, Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal break down some of the biggest tectonic shifts happening at the intersection of AI, search, and antitrust law. The focal point? Google's claim that its Gemini AI now boasts 350 million monthly users. But what exactly counts as a user—and does stuffing Gemini into every app and product really mean it's being used?Greg and Mike dig deep into how Google is leveraging its product ecosystem—Chrome, Gmail, Workspace, Maps, Android, and Search—to inflate AI engagement numbers. The two unpack why Gemini still underperforms compared to ChatGPT and Claude, and what that gap reveals about Google's AI rollout and user trust.They also dive into the implications of the Department of Justice's antitrust remedies following the conclusion of the Google search monopoly trial. What could it mean for the web if Google is forced to divest Chrome—or even Maps? The conversation explores Google's use of default deals, bundling tactics, and how it might use its market power to dominate AI, just as it has search.Along the way, they highlight YouTube's overlooked role as a future-first search engine, powered by how-to content, brand channels, and a closed ecosystem that Google fully controls. And they dissect how local guides, AI-driven local search results, and Google's declining web traffic referrals are reshaping digital marketing as we know it.Whether you're a marketer, SEO professional, journalist, or tech policy nerd—this episode gives you a grounded, provocative look at what's really going on in the AI arms race.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss essential executive functioning skills for mastering your mental workspace. They include: working memory (your brain's capacity to temporarily hold and manipulate information), attention control (sustaining focus while filtering distractions), cognitive flexibility (adapting to changes), and metacognition (thinking about your thinking). For each skill, I offer practical strategies such as externalizing information through concept maps, working in timed focus blocks, developing alternative pathways, and regular self-reflection. I also stress that everyone's executive functioning varies based on factors like energy levels, sleep, and nutrition. This is part 1 of a special mini-series so you won't want to miss the next episode where I'll cover output-related skills to help you take action, including planning, organizing, time management, and emotional regulation.  If you liked what you heard, check out episode 238 on executive functioning skills 101 and episode 295 on monthly reflection questions to achieve your goals.
