Switching between browser tabs. I use the trackpad to look for the needed tab when I have a lot of tabs opened. Using a keyboard shortcut makes me zoom out of the task I am doing and it leads to context switching when I see an unrelated tab.
@bchhabra2491 suffered from this too:) Just consider closing the not-need or unurgent tabs. Sometimes I just bookmark a few of them to not lose them and find when needed.
@bchhabra2491@oksana_ch Not sure if it'd be helpful, but we've been working on a free extension that might help with that.
It's mainly meant for online research, but the basis is that you can make highlights directly on web pages, leave comments, group them around topics and then easily store or share the info.
Communication. As an autistic person, communication is difficult with neurotypicals. Some sort of AI large language model to proof read my outbound messages would be useful. Same for inbound messages, neurotypicals donât talk straight, which is confusing. A model to âstraightifyâ a message would be useful too.
@joanfihu Do you have any recommendations or examples for how neurotypicals can communicate in less confusing ways? I would love to learn more about this.
@nrparsons Examples:
NT: Neurotypical
ND: Neurodivergent
At the end of a conversation:
NT: âWe should catch up soon.â
ND: âBye.â
NT doesnât actually mean to catch up. Itâs a formalism.
NT: âYou should use a factory model in this test.â
ND: âChange the code and use a factory model.â
NT uses should when itâs a MUST. Perhaps to not offend?
NT: âI canât come today. Iâm not feeling very wellâ
ND: âIâm not interested. Thanks for letting me knowâ
90% of the time, NT isnât unwell. He/she is not interested.
NT: âWe will look into your suggestion next quarter.â
ND: âYour suggestion is a bad idea because of Xâ
95% of the time, NT has not intentions to review that suggestion.
NT: âWe need more help with engineering managementâ
ND: âDo you want to be an engineering manager?â
@joanfihu Thank you so much for taking the time to share these examples. I feel like the cool thing here is that the ND examples you provided are so much better in honesty and integrity, they're a better way to communicate with anyone (i.e. there's no downside to working to communicate more like that, for someone who doesn't already do so). It reminds me of the ideas behind radicalcandor.com, which I aspire to implement in my communication.
Your post here give me a better understanding how these statements of empty politeness/formalism are especially unhelpful for some people (though imho ultimately not good for anyone), and motivates me to keep working on avoiding this kind of stuff. Thank you for your openness in sharing!
Automation of processes is very important, as well as understanding by employees of the tasks they perform.
Very often both the first and the second suffer and this needs to be improved.

@codis_io for some maessages I use pre-made templates (easy to do in Gmail). I modify them a little bit and that's makes it faster to respond to emails or write new ones
Decision making .. i can only imagine the time being saved. The only flip side will be the opportunity to learn lessons (from wrong decisions). But positive far outweighs the negative.
I can say that communication skills are important for me because 85% of our success in the workplace depends on how well we communicate with others and only 15% is based on our professional qualifications.
If I could schedule the brand media posts with my mind instantly, without waiting for creatives, that would be fun. Seems like Elon problem, hope he fixes it fast. heheh!!
