What’s that? I’ve managed to find yet another way to include gaming in our newsletter? Here is Rahul Vohra telling you How to apply game design to business software. Link.
🖥️ Technology
A great article about using relatively basic math in MySQL to detect anomalies/bugs in databases. Link.

🕹️ Cool stuff
This week I was discussing being nice versus being kind with a friend and I remembered this article from 2015 - Why you need to stop being nice and start being kind - which argues that a nice person is “externally motivated” and deals in talk. Whereas a kind person is “internally motivated and deals in action. Link.
If you haven’t already heard about the WallStreetBoys/GameStop insanity then I highly recommend getting to know. Link.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
