The audio version of my podcast with Michael Nygard for GOTO Conferences Unscripted is out now.
We talked about building resilient systems, the real meaning of Conway's Law (everyone forgets the word "communication"), modernising 50 years of tech debt at Sabre, and why we celebrate firefighters over fire preventers.
Michael's insights on technical leadership and organizational design are invaluable.

We distill the important developments so you don't have to chase down every headline.

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last 6 months looking into the ethics of GenAI; this piece, from The New Stack, is the result. It’s a long and fairly difficult read, but I think worthwhile.

Happy New Llamasoft Game Day to those who celebrate
At the bottom of this blog commemorating Microsoft’s 50th anniversary Bill Gates links to a printout of the original source code for the BASIC interpreter, in well commented assembly language. It’s a fascinating read.
I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!
