Using a new Python method, accessing detailed and helpful documentation, reading about prosumers, and trying out a new tool presenting information differently
Sandra's Weeknotes
What I have found gripping
Creating a new programme in Python from scratch with a new method leading to the output I’m looking for is fascinating
Documentation providing detailed guidance about how to use a tool is a brilliant source of information and supports various levels of autonomy
A prosumer is someone that purchases very high quality technical products or equipment. It’s also an individual who helps a company design and produce its products
Trying out a new tool with a very different interface with a focus on relevant and more accurate information is pleasant

Featured quote
Do you think of trust as something you can “build”? “Earning" vs. "building" trust is one of the most critical rethinks I've ever had about trust, and in today’s newsletter, I want to share why. Moving away from the concept of “building trust” is more than a shift in language; it’s a reframing in how we think about power and choice in relationships. — Rachel Botsman
