Weeknotes 22 May 2026

I know. It’s been a bit quiet over here lately. I’ve had some time off, and I don’t tend to write Weeknotes when I’m out of office. Being transparent, I’ve had a lot on in and outside of work, and I’ve chosen not to give myself a hard time for missing some Weeknotes. Moving on, let’s dig into some of the work stuff that’s been keeping me occupied…

A lot of evolution in the ways our teams work. Vibe coding, working with raw data, and skipping using Figma – and being okay about that.

Everything is changing, and everyone’s moving fasssssssst. I’m trying to pause along the way to see challenges and opportunities arising from this. Like, how does one person consolidate feedback from multiple, highly skilled stakeholders in this new world? A world where stakeholders are using a variety of tools – Cursor, Claude, local host demos – and sharing progress in a gargantuan Slack thread. Another thing I’m pondering: how does this then affect a valuable source of truth? I need documentation I can return to, and a Slack thread feels unmanageable.

Bravery and vulnerability are superpowers which have helped me in difficult conversations. While I won’t share details of the conversations themselves, I can say what’s worked. For me, that’s been vocalising that I don’t know everything. And that I can’t remember everything – nor can I be expected to. And, that I make mistakes.

Building a case for “good”. The tools we use are changing, the way we work is changing, and we all know that AI is a key factor driving this. One opportunity I’m grabbing during this change is stopping to notice the good. Specifically, creating case studies for what “good enough” content looks like.

Rather than being about the words, this is zooming out and looking at the objective of changing content. Why we did it, what we did, the learnings and of course, the next steps. I’ve started what I hope to be a series of these studies. They’re designed to be highly shareable. Reminders of our team’s progress. And reminders that perfect doesn’t exist – and that’s okay too.
