Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”
VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

“Made entirely by an AI” is starting to feel like a detractor. Sure a documentary about mining on Mars sounds cool, but what would really make me spend 3 minutes watching the trailer is if it was in fact done by people who had an amazing idea and sweated the details to get it just right to match their vision.
(All power to those who use AI to make art, but it’s a tool. What matters is the vision a human had at one point, and what I felt when I experienced the final result)
Everywhere I go, I see massive amounts of product waste: development work delivered on time/on budget that doesn’t drive sales or customer satisfaction or business improvement. Yet somehow we don’t see this waste, or mis-attribute it to engineering process problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve written a lot about
One of the great unsolved design problems of our time is that every app has its own way of organising the things you make with it.
For example, after using Miro for the last five years, I still have an uneasy feeling about all the Miro boards I’ve worked on. Where are they? Which of them do I still have access to?
We spend too much mental energy trying to keep track of our stuff.
Did a longer write-up on the merits of Continuous Discovery for (re)-igniting collaboration in teams - including a section called "The problem with Agile".
