Latency in IT is analogous to friction in physical systems.

Yeah, pretty much.

The middle of the bell curve isn’t interesting. The edges are.

Your brain is easily fooled.

If you don't spend time thinking about how your plans will fail, then they are sure to.

"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." -Carl Sagan

"The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question." -Stephen Jay Gould

If your IT team provides and supports a system, but you don't use it, then you can't complan they don't support you.

Hey IT... you know that change you are excited about? It is going to decrease productivity for a large part of your users.

Once your systems are secure and stable, then you can think about improving them.

New IT leaders must have open conversations with the IT team and with the users to figure out what they are facing. It is unfortunate that many IT leaders do not understand they can alienate their team or users if they mishandle the conversations.

How one reacts to surprising new situations tells a lot about them. Personally, I like to find a group of folks who want to understand it then react reasonably.

Is it just me or does this generative AI stuff make you think about "the hard problem of consciousness?"

What if AI is solving the wrong problems?

@freeschool thanks for fixing it

@freeschool oops, I just noticed my name is incorrect… I have only one r in my name.

@freeschool Looks good.
