Conways Law has been an important part of my thinking for years. Important enough to affect every system I've come across, and powerful enough that you're doomed to defeat if you try to fight it.

Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live.
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

"Platform Engineering" is rapidly becoming the new DevOps or SRE. Almost every day we hear about another org building an internal developer platform or control plane.

Another important point Roger always made was that Computer Science is not real science. Science is observing nature like physics. For CS *we* get to define what the science is, which is fundamentally different, and as such *we* are responsible for what it produces. – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Roger Needham formed my academic years by stating "Systems should do real things for real people" - part of the success of US universities comes through a focus on technology transfer through startups doing useful stuff, instead of just writing papers. [Opposite opinion in Dutch]
Het is beter als universiteiten ophouden bedrijfje te spelen. Ze kunnen beter de kennis beschermen met patenten en vervolgens dit intellectuele eigendom ‘verhuren’ aan partijen die er commercieel succes mee kunnen behalen, stelt columnist Marcel Levi.
