Talking Businessly

We talk retro video games. Daniel is wiring up his whole home. John preps for his Laracon talk. We recap what we learned from an uncomfortable client moment. We finalize our OKRs. John was on Joe Tannenbaum's podcast talking about games [https://sideprojectpodcast.com/episodes/elephant-in-the-room-with-john-rudolph-drexler]. John talks about doing jiu jitsu against the Dutch.

John built the MVP client app! Daniel watched Survivor. We brainstorm what we want out of our 2025 OKRs.

We talk about how it will work to have another PM around, the paradox of project scoping, good interview questions, and the power of learning from retros. On a less businessly note, we also talk Survivor, Pecking Order, gas leaks, soothing YouTube videos [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q8o6gRs-IA&t=525s], cable management, and trying to feed our notes into ChatGPT.

We do a little vision casting for what a great year would look like. We have some disagreements about sales, plan to remove ourselves as individual contributors from many clients, and to get better at scheduling / planning.

Daniel is moving, and we have some business logistics to figure out. We want to hire a junior PM. We do a roundup of our OKR results. We also talk game of the year, John is about to release a digital game, and get into the weeds testing a board game.
