This is such a textbook perfect example of building "just in time" reminders in software. Where can you do this in *your* product? 🤔
@codinghorror Another good next level to this is when you know 100% what the answer is, just do it for them. This clearly doesn't apply to the microphone scenario due to privacy concerns, but software could do with a lot less nagging and a lot more magic.
@codinghorror Conversely, I very much appreciate the "your mic is muted" notifications when I fart during a meeting.
@codinghorror "Looks like you are scheduling up a meeting. Could this be turned into an Email instead?" --@shanselman
@codinghorror “You have posted a message to Twitter. It is Monday night, should you considering winding down?”
@codinghorror But the mic is not off then, is it?
@codinghorror Are you trying to get something done? How about taking a break? [crashes]
@codinghorror It's a good idea but I usually see it when I cough 😅
@codinghorror I had this great idea of outputting a textual representation of whatever they just said... until I realized that kinda killed the point of the mute button.
