Teams struggling to meet tomorrow's demands: how much effort do you commit defending yesterday's solutions? #devops #lean #systemsthinking
Hey @Disneyland please thank Brandon from Savi’s workshop, and all others who assisted, in replacing a faulty hilt core in lightsaber just now. Such customer experience is well appreciated!
We may have an #ethical responsibility to contain true #AI (“AGI”) until it is capable of #transcendence.
We definitely have a responsibility to contain it until humans achieve the same.
Hey @Sonos can we downgrade the recent UI changes on the iOS mobile app?
Pretty much everything I liked about it is now 10x harder to do.

"Command-and-control thinkers are obsessed with managing cost. Paradoxically, when managers manage cost, costs go up. But managers can't see how or why because their measures-in-use keep them blind." -John Seddon

Hey @Microsoft @Xbox I really want to share games I’ve purchased with my kids/family members. We have two consoles of different generations. The current “home console” stuff is a real pain, bcuz my kids can’t use the games I have bought for them unless I sign in. Please fix this.

"To only optimise and get incremental improvement is not really breaking inertia. You need to figure out how to achieve performance that will force you to break your limitations… To have real breakthrough innovation we should not take our constraints as a given." —Rami Goldratt

Was Jurassic Park really an exploration of the concept of “invasive species”?
Humanity is an invasive species. Humanity naively distributes other invasive species IRL. Add a dash of hubris. The new invasive species strikes back.
I loved those books, this isn’t a mockery.

Design flaws are the most expensive when customers already depend on the internal behavior of the old system. Leaky abstractions increase future opportunity cost. Second system syndrome amplifies risk.

If you're really serious about improving speed, you need to look at the entire organizational system—at the "value stream." One fast bit will not speed the system as a whole (though a slow one in the wrong place will slow it down). No isolated practice or technique changes that.
