Adding '&udm=14' to the end of the Google URL will set 'Web' as the default search mode - this strips away all GenAI results, Featured Snippets, and most ads/sponsored posts.

“There is no obvious good place to insert architecture governance with agile delivery.” - adaptive governance is the answer.

AI is not something you buy, but something you do, a dance you engage with.

Examples of fun and noteworthy 404-error pages. Someone with a web archive could do an interesting collection on these. #webarchiving @internetarchive https://t.co/ZLZ0ePFPWE

Came across the term “Reference Architect” in a document produced by the consulting firm McKenzie which puzzled me. I know what “reference architecture” is. If it not a typo, is a “Reference Architect” like a “Reference Librarian” who provides guidance on architecture resources?

Many initiatives happening at the same time in different parts of the organisation. - Lots of consultants and contractors working on various things. - Pace is fast. Short notice & little lead time - Onboarding at org level is really good. Less at team level - nobody has time.

- Transitioning to a product/platform operating model. Roles and responsibilities not all clear. - Enterprise Architecture not with strategy and planning. Part of a group responsible for consumer products and platforms. - Enterprise Architects deliver design blueprints.

- 1-hour meetings are rare. Most meetings are 25 minutes. - PowerPoint slides commonly used but often sent as email attachment and wordy. - M365 instead of Google Workspace. Most people use the desktop clients. - No cutlery in kitchens🤔
