Raw Blame History


Daily Brief — 2026-06-01

Morning

On June 1st 1980, CNN launched as the world's first 24-hour news channel — and Pac-Man hit North American arcades — both on the same Monday. Two machines engineered for continuous human attention, born together. 💧 Start with a glass of water.

Today's focus per weekly plan: Ramp + ship the 0.5d's. New signals since Friday: 3 task changes (1 completed: PR Check on main), 1 new comment from Sam S on CI. Dominik OOO all week (LDX3 + public holiday) — no 1:1.


Plan for Today

  1. Set your 1-Must for today — weekly plan calls this out explicitly; set intent before anything else
  2. 🔴 Fix CI on PR #5145 → merge — Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) overdue 4d; CI blocking merge
  3. 🔴 Start Persist 'You've got this' dialogue [2d] — due today, biggest unstarted TP item; protect morning block
  4. 🟠 Reply on Desktop Browsers: Windows AOT delivery plan — Ivy replied Sat; silence reads as acquiescence; Mon/Tue deadline
  5. 🟠 Confirm Sam S's CI fix → close PR Check is failing on main
  6. 🟠 Ping reviewer on PR #5173 — Hide "stop chat" button overdue 2d
  7. 📅 O-L Weekly Meeting — today
