Every year — for nearly ten years — I have set myself a Yearly Theme. This is a word or phrase that guides my year and informs the choices I make. I use this phrase to help me evaluate decisions and to give me an anchor point to base my work — and
It was a very Merry Christmas in the Hurley household. It was our first as parents, and that brings with it a whole new set of feelings and excitement. I wasn’t sure if the day would be able to live up to how much I was looking forward to
Today is my last full day of work before taking a short break for the holidays. I expect I’ll still be checking in on some things next week, but the majority of big projects should be taken care of. Sophia is under the weather again — this time it’s

I’ve been incredibly fortunate with the lineup of guests I’ve had for the first six episodes of State of the Workflow, and honestly I can’t believe I managed to make this one happen. Speaking with Hank Green for this series was a genuine treat. I’ve been

It was a pleasure to have David Pierce of The Verge join me on Cortex this month: Myke talks to The Verge’s David Pierce about the workflow behind his Humane AI Pin review, how he collaborates to make podcasts like The Vergecast, and how his Installer newsletter helps him
