Is this an old/sick tree, or was it hit by lightning? I think a part of it is burned, but there are still leaves on some branches, and a lot of the bark has separated.

Just look up trees hit by lightning and youll see images like these

in reply to Erik

This tree was struck by lightning according to witnesses. It looks a bit different from yours, but it's a different kind of tree too.

I'm not saying that I'm podcasting again... but I'm not *not* podcasting.

I got to guest host on the Denoise podcast and have a great talk with some fantastic Blender artists. I'm biased, but I think it's well worth a listen.

Using frameworks like ICE are a PM’s secret weapon.

in reply to Dare Obasanjo

I agree the three axes of ICE are well-formed and roughly orthogonal

And it's super useful to build consensus about various approaches' relative ranking on each axis

But the metrics-engineer/ersatz-data-scientist parts of me are _so upset_ by the idea of summarizing by _adding_
