"Eventually, I stopped responding to my body. I was responding instead to a dashboard." — @Daojoan

This is a great point and very much translates to so many other parts of life/work where people stop listening to their "body" (or to their org/product/offering), outsourcing/numbing/dumbing down their decision making based on dashboards of collected metrics and then changing their behaviors on auto-pilot to improve said metrics — without ever asking themselves if the data collected actually represents answers to the right (or even important) questions...

Metrics always invite comparison & competition — on a global scale — often without considering our own subjective contexts/needs/limits/aims...

Does the number of copilot prompts per day on a CTO dashboard indicate a highly productive developer or does a big fat zero merely show a different approach to problem solving?

Does the lack of constant updates to a FLOSS project mean it's become neglected/unusable or does it simply indicate it reached a level of stability?

Likewise, does my product/app need constant UI changes/updates to "streamline" user experience (often without even consulting users) based on some "goal" metrics?

Am I seen as an unproductive FLOSS developer if my public commit log doesn't show daily updates? Do gaps indicate laziness, illness, deep thinking or work on other projects? Like gaps in a CV, will these gaps of activity data hinder future employment chances or would I even want to work with orgs who select on this criteria?

Is a hike only good/better because it exceeds X kilometers or Y elevation meters? How does one measure the stunning views or the quality of the company which shared that experience?

Westenberg. · Why I Gave Up My SmartwatchSomewhere between the first time I tapped my wrist to skip a song and the three hundredth time I anxiously checked my resting heart rate, I started to hate my Apple Watch. The promise of the smartwatch was elegance, convenience, optimization. What I got was constant data drip, subtle panic,

selfh.st/icons - a curated collection of 4,400+ icons - now supports custom colors (bring your own)! I've developed a (self-hostable) lightweight proxy server that can intercept icon requests and apply custom colors based on a hex color code in the URL parameters.

Check out the post below for more details and be gentle as this is my first public #development project...ever.

I have updated my list of #journalists on #Mastodon (in the #fediverse) with all accounts on verifiedjournalist.org
(thx @_max)
I'm currently considering, which accounts to add in bulk.

But I'm proud of my new #dashboard, there you can see some aggregate data from the table:

⏩ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d

What do you think?

It's updated roughly once per hour, so you can follow the bar for "Posted today" growing. Any ideas, what I can add?
