Naturally Doug Englebart comes next, he of 'Mother Of All Demos' fame where our modern GUI world was previewed.

Going down a wiki-hole on Vannevar Bush, who would have loved the fact I have 300+ tabs open on my browser right now.

Sadly Vannevar, although we have access to Information, what if the data is of poor quality, and what if people are purposely putting false data in for nefarious ends?

I have thought for years that taxis and the like have difficulty finding my place because it's on a corner, facing the *other* street and not my address-street. That may still be part of it, but the other part may simply be that it is not on Street View and that confuses the heck out of people.

(No, I am NOT going to have my house put back on Street View.)

Compound Interest Calculator

Okay, so there’s an important thing I want people to understand. Compound interest is extremely important when you’re starting to build wealth. Even if you have the most basic job, all you have to do is put away a little bit of money. Even if it means cutting out a few small expenses, you can start buying shares and investing with very little effort. Today, it’s easier than ever. All you need is a phone or a computer and access to a brokerage account. Compound interest is basically […]

Good day netizens. Blue has returned after 10 years in tech, once again on the job hunt. I have worked a variety of roles from hands-on computer repair to Sys admin and more. In that time, I have accrued several certifications including the #Swimlane Certified #SOAR Administrator, #CompTIA #Network+, #Security+, #Pentest+, and #SecurityX . I'm currently looking for #remotework for anywhere in the #US . I'm targeting #cybersecurity roles, since that is what I am passionate about and my certifications are focused in, but I am also open to other IT roles such as software engineer, dev ops, etc. I'm a #transgender woman trying to provide for her #LGBTQIA family and any pay would greatly help us make ends meet as we try to survive in this refuge state where the cost of living is so much higher than back home. Boosts and sharing is welcome, thanks for your time and help.

Remember the "four efficiencies" of information technology and let them guide the strategic planning process. Does a proposed innovation allow someone to: 1) Do more in less time? 2) Increase the diversity of what is done? 3) Communicate with others? 4) Transform the work process itself?

The Engineering Leadership Crisis Nobody Talks About 🚨 #EngineeringLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #PlatformEngineering #TechLeadership #Microservices #SRE

Modern engineering teams are collapsing under platform complexity, AI chaos, organizational scaling failures, and unreliable architectures. This deep technical leadership guide explains how elite engineering leaders manage platform rewrites, reliability crises, organizational chaos, and large-scale modernization without destroying delivery velocity. #SoftwareArchitecture #EngineeringManagement #DevOps #CloudComputing #Leadership

Microservices Are Killing Engineering Velocity (And Most Teams Don’t Even Know It) #SoftwareArchitecture #Microservices #ModularMonolith #SystemDesign #EngineeringLeadership

Everyone wants microservices. Very few teams actually need them. The truth? Most engineering organizations are trading simplicity, speed, and developer productivity for unnecessary distributed systems complexity. Before breaking your monolith, understand the real tradeoffs between microservices vs modular monoliths and why the smartest engineering teams are rethinking architecture decisions. A deep technical breakdown for software engineers, architects, and engineering leaders. #SoftwareEngineering #Microservices #ModularMonolith #DistributedSystems #Java #SpringBoot #SystemDesign #TechLeadership
