Graveyard with Cat in Moonlight, in celebration of Halloween.
Sketching new,old and abandoned graves, some pristine, some neglected . A cat ran ahead of me, then stood on top of a flat gravestone, outlined in light, casting a dark shadow.

My interpretation is of this scene at night, with a full moon.

Grig mentions a key #automation that solved an important bottleneck:

> "For example, when you work with any vendor for a pharmaceutical company, almost everybody requires an NDA to be signed. This by itself can eat up to two weeks of time on both ends of this transaction. We had automated this NDA signing process so that it would usually happen in hours. Many of our vendors would follow up and tell us how insanely fast this was and how it was the smoothest and fastest contracting experience that they had ever had."

Some behind the scenes info on this: I built it by wiring up a form builder, #make.com and #DocuSign. For additional features I synced the current state of each signature request to a Notion Database. Don't forget to build automated tests for core business logic like this, I used #cypress to do that.

All in all the implementation is the easy part with things like this, the hard part is figuring out which processes to automate to actually generate the most value without doing premature optimization and building unnecessary features.

If you want to build something like this without passing the data to third parties, the same thing can be done using self-hosted tools like #wpforms, #n8n and #nextcloud

Why #Ecologists Are Haunted by the Rapid Growth of #GhostForests

A study in North Carolina of dying #trees may represent a foreboding preview of what may come to #coastal #ecosystems worldwide.

by Jim Morrison

"As the ocean intrudes and saltwater rises, it kills trees and creates these ghost forests—bare trunks, and stumps, ashen tombstones marking a once-thriving coastal ecosystem. In North Carolina, #pine, #RedMaple, #sweetgum and bald #cypress forests are being replaced by saltmarsh. Eventually, that saltmarsh will be replaced by open water, a shift that leads to significant and complex costs to the environment and the local economy. The loss of forests will reduce carbon storage, further fueling climate change, and the agriculture industry, timber interests will suffer as saltwater moves inland."
