A few weeks ago, during a one-on-one with my manager, I had an interesting realization about this topic.
I understood that my chaotic nature isn’t due to a lack of organization—it’s because I thrive in chaos. I can function well without strict structure because I don’t need it to stay effective.
My manager, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She needs everything documented and noted, not because she’s inherently more organized, but because the absence of structure creates anxiety and discomfort for her.
She actually complimented me on my ability to navigate uncertainty, to adapt without needing full control, and still feel capable and at ease.
It felt like an epiphany, shifting the way I perceive this entire topic.
You hit a very important point, the discomfort that orderly people experience (I am that kind of person). I believe that to be innate.
At the same time, a disorganized person is still more effective in an organized environment, but probably he hasn't realized this by himself because he doesn't have the internal drive to be organized in the first place.
You could say being organized is Nature's way of setting us up for success in complex and very demanding situations.
Interesting I am in the same situation. There are are little fires around me I just have to make sure they dont grow bigger. May I ask what role you fullfill? I`m sysops/cloud engineer.
What that even be? You can’t fit what’s in the pro line in a smaller phone. The smaller phones already had smaller batteries, would you be willing to give up more to squeeze in another lens? Something or some things have to give when you have less space to work with.
Apple made the best small phones anyone had ever made and people didn’t like them. Bigger phones allow for a lot more than just bigger screens. People seem to take all the non screen stuff for granted.

As an European, how is this not considered a coup d'etat? From my mindset, right or wrong, that is absolutely unthinkable to happen within a normal functional European country.
This is not an illegal unseating of our government's leadership. Our leadership is the one facilitating it.
The more appropriate parallel would be a massive data leak. Although so far we don't have any confirmed cases of protected data being leaked to anyone who was not given access. But it might just be a matter of time.
I never thought about that, but honestly that sounds super cool, imagine our grand grand children 300 hundred years from now, if somehow they have access to our cloud images they can basically check out how their ancestor fully lived their lives, a true door to the past.
Sounds super cool for them, of course, we have been born to early for this, so from our perspective we still shouldn't give a dam. As probably we won't be ghost behind checking how they enjoy that portal to the past.
It's cool conceptually, but I think for family I haven't known, for family I have known and is aging/deceased that would make me pretty sad so I probably wouldn't use it.
As an european (Spanish) is very suprising to read than in the US it takes up to 2-4 days to deliver for Amazon.
Here, even in a remote village, normally it's 1 day, and if you live in the big cities you can even have the "same day" delivery.
Also a side note, but I have been reading a lot of people complaining about fake stuff on Amazon, and I feel that it's also a problem that we don't experience here, at least, not at that level to be noticeable.
Interestingly, but last month while climbing (actually doing ferratas, if you don't know what it is check it out, very fun and friendly) in a mountain the phone fell of my pocket, easily 35 meters free fall onto the forest below.
I recovered it (by using find my, thanks Apple) and it was intact.
Two days later it fell out of my pocket while sitting in my tourism european car (short) into the concrete of the road and the glass shattered.
So yeah, the elevation doesn't seem to matter as much as the terrain it hits and the angle.
We say “dejame en paz”.
And is not a young thing, is how it is said around here.
