The above reminds me of sitting in a conference room 25 years ago writing Meeting Haiku. Some things never change
Will Deakin@jalefkowit I would commend to you #Haiku of #DrJohnCooperClarke:
"No 2
With patience and faith
you may catch your enemy's
funeral cortege"
Sir Osis of Liver 🇨🇦 🇲🇽"Where do we keep the paradigms? I was told to shift them, but I have no idea where to even start."
🤔
Karl Auerbach@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @jalefkowit Paradigms are not particular about where and how you shift them, but remember: Always put the dominant paradigm on top of the stack.
Joe Heafner@jalefkowit @psefsu They use words to mask their lack of understanding much like physics students use math to mask their lack of comprehension of physics.
Manuel Tejera@jalefkowit That's the problem. They don't.
Allan Chow@jalefkowit time to brung up this gem again
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Mission Statement (Official 4K Video)
Dave Rahardja@jalefkowit I had to look up “the worst email ever” by former VP of Microsoft Devices Group Stephen Elop in 2014, and WOW it’s bad. 11 paragraphs in before he announces massive layoffs.
Elop got laid off the following year, though, so…

@drahardja Ah yes, Elop, The Man Who Killed Nokia
taxet@jalefkowit @drahardja and, funnily enough, fucked the whole Finnish economy in the process and it still hasn’t really recovered properly as Nokia was a BIG part of it at the time.
Or I mean Nokia was starting to struggle even before Elop and there were issues with management for years but the ship eventually did go down (and hard) on his watch so… fuck that guy, specifically for killing MeeGo in favor of Windows Phone.
@taxet @jalefkowit Nokia adopting Windows Phone was the dumbest move. I remember yelling out loud when I read the news.
MisterArix @drahardja @jalefkowit That’s the guy who started, talked about, and finally jumped off his own “burning platform”
@MisterArix @jalefkowit What if “failing up” was a man
SpaceLifeFormThey should have a follow-up study to estimate how many people are un-educated and stupid.
Hannu@jalefkowit Oh oh.
Sloganeerism/buzzwordism is nothing but a vacuous waste? Who knew!
