For the last year I've been working on a series of essays about "How Computers Think" - practical artificial intelligence for people outside computer science. I'll be publishing an essay from the series every month for 2019. Here's the first one: medium.com/@simoncarryer/spi…

At this time of year, generally most businesses are in a crunch phase, people are saving their leave for holidays, and generally speaking are really burned out. Leaders: Recognise this fact. Show appreciation the best way you can to your people. Make this a priority.

Great challenge! That is one of the reasons we exist. To provide a platform for our #prodmgmt community to share their stories #ltpcon

My challenge to the @LTP_AUS attendees: Two years ago, I was an attendee in Melbourne, yesterday I was one of the speakers in Sydney. What perspective / insights / learning could you share with your follow product community next year?

It is an unpopular perspective, but our experience is that the NZ education system is producing exactly the right talent with the core skills needed for modern business. It is business that needs to adapt.xitter.cf/NZMorningReport/status… xitter.cf/smamol/status/10134640…

"What happens when the only way our aspiring reporters, editors, policy researchers and curators can climb up the ladder is to work for free? What happens to equal opportunity and representation when only the privileged can make it on to the first rung?"

The rise in graduates and contraction in economy meant "culturally elite industries were flooded with young talent, who had little option but to work for free"

Your regular reminder that unpaid internships are bad for everyone, and internships that you have to PAY for are unfair, and unlikely to be actual "work" experience summeroftech.co.nz/blog/comm…
