I haven’t finished reading this but I am commenting because of the form. Lead with the conclusions, table of contents, and then sources? This is someone who is confident in what they write. I wish more writing trusted the audience to decide

Your example about this hinge is nurturing behaviour. This is exactly what people should be doing- identifying issues and also at least suggesting they be fixed before proceeding if not offering a fix themselves. There is more to your reput

This is infuriating. However, for those in this situation, know this: it works if the document or spreadsheet is in OneDrive. I just wish Copilot told you this instead of asking you to upload the doc.

The book that changed the game for me is “Leadership and Self-Deception”. The thesis being that the root of resentment is self-betrayal, where self-betrayal is denying your impulse to do right by others. Ever since I read it, I’ve been more

The post you’re r replying to gets this right- lead time is everything. The fast you can iterate, the more likely that what you are doing is correct. I’ve had a similar experience to what you’re describing. We are slower with AI… for now. L

This is my focus protocol. Whenever I find myself having trouble trying started on a task, I create a new desktop and open windows related to the task only. DnD on. Pick a next step. Execute.

I got bitten by this confusing UX. The spreadsheet must be in OneDrive for copilot to use it as context. It’s actually quite useful.

The biggest mistake is accepting controls that they cannot manage. I mentioned automation earlier for this reason. If your controls place undue stress on the business then you’ve just created more work instead of enabling success. Complianc

Tone at the top is most important - if this is not valued at an organization level, it will be tough sledding. Next is knowledge - you don’t know what you don’t know. However, one you learn - usually through a gap assessment with an audit f

I’ve seen this pattern play out before. The pushback on simpler alternatives seems from a legitimate need for short time to market from the demand some of the equation and a lack of knowledge on the supply side. Every time I hear an enginee

I feel like this ‘cloud-first’ strategy will only get worse now that AI assisted development is common. I notice my personal AI assisted C# projects get far more complex than when I use some JS framework. If it’s not the colleges and univer

jyn’s advice here is spot on, however it misses an important point: jyn you are exceptional because you do these things. This is what excellence looks like.

Hardly a Pyrrhic win. When the rest of the market is burning money, whoever burns money the slowest while still remaining competitive will win.

Out of curiosity, why does this have to be a left-leaning initiative? I personally don’t use these political labels as I’m often confused by how they are used.

This is on the engineers. Asking for time to refactor is like a painter asking for time to prime. It’s part of the job so just do it. When brought out in discussion, it sounds as if it is optional and its value dubious. That’s where the fee

Snark aside, this is the main topic of Eli Goldratt's "The Goal" - one of my favourite books. Output of the business is constrained by some bottleneck. Improving efficiency away from the bottleneck is just waste. Said differe

There is something to this. I believe that if you cannot feel, you also cannot reason. It’s almost as if intellectual ability is an application of emotionality rather than something separate. For example, when something makes sense to you,

This is a well written article that points the tension between talent building and improved output. Although focused on design it gives me some ideas on how to build an effective engineering org. What strikes me as an opportunity is creatin

Practice makes perfect. Assuming AI adoption initiatives are well intentioned, it makes sense to reward people for being pioneers in their organizations. We’ve always done this. The difference this time around, is that we’re doing it with t

This makes me feel a little better about this change. However, there are bound to be weird Edge cases. Edge allows multiple profiles, are all always available to store passwords? Can your IT department block the use of personal profiles if

That’s right- technology does replace pieces of our everyday life. I fear what happens when social ties are what are replaced. For example, technology allows us to travel long distances while keeping in touch with our loved ones. What happe

The counter-counter-argument is that the messy part of human interaction is necessary for social cohesion. I’ve already witnessed this erosion prior to LLMs in the rise of SMS over phone calls (personal) and automated menu systems for custo

Thank you for this response really helpful. Generalizing from queue theory makes a lot of sense.

You seem knowledgeable in this area. I am slightly obsessed with this stuff ever since reading The Goal. Where can I learn more? For example, how can we use variability to create more profit? What are high-capacity queues?
