Although not at all surprising, I'm continually amazed at what happens when you give curious & smart people access to a centralized trove of cleaned, well-structured data. Democratize your data!

The notion that future is a commons, and one that is best cared for in the present is both fantastically thrilling but also nerve wracking. Stewardship of the future is one of those things that’s non-deferrable. You carry the yoke, now, today. You build it now, today.

The person who tells the most compelling story wins. Not the best idea. Just the story that catches people’s attention and gets them to nod their heads. https://t.co/sauV6tE3yh

A subtle hint from Outlook after opening it this morning when I'm supposed to be on vacation...

Just read this in a Robert Greene book: "When you are angry, take no action." Seems like pretty good advice...

It's been said those who got rich during the gold rush sold picks and shovels. Today's "picks and shovels" are data and ML algorithms.

Maybe if instead of "coding in production" I call it "real-time continuous deployment", @fuzziebrain won't get so mad at me...

Customers can’t ask for solutions they are unable to imagine. So don’t ask them what solutions they want. Instead ask them what metrics they use to measure success when getting a job done. Then conceptualize new solutions that will help them get that job done perfectly. #JTBD

Mere rate of shipping new features is a surprisingly accurate predictor of startup success. In this domain, at least, slowness is way more likely to be due to inability than prudence. The startups that do things slowly don't do them any better. Just slower.

1/ Last night, I spent some quality time with the Apple docs on the new contact tracing protocol and APIs they and Google are preparing. I'm quite optimistic about this effort. Here's why.

“Operating cadence” is one of the most powerful advantages a person or organization can have, and I think that it explains more of the last few months than e.g. “organizational capacity” does.

Trying to adopt MS Teams, and really want to love it - I really do. But the naming! Found myself saying this monstrosity today: "It’s in a OneNote notebook attached to Data Team Team in Teams in the 'Team Planning' channel."

I am pretty sure the biggest difference between a startup and a large company is the anxiousness one feels if they haven’t shipped something meaningful in a week. In a large company it is totally acceptable for an 6+ mo project to not ship. That cannot happen in a startup.

Unexpectedly enjoyable. Types of interchanges and their efficiency ratings.

The fact that "Move fast and break stuff" has been adopted by tech haters as a stick to beat tech with doesn't make it bad advice. It's the right thing to do in many situations.
