Generations and GenAI
This is probably a well-known fact in sociology or some other such discipline, but it struck me the other day that only the generation that knows how to do something can be the one to make that thing obsolete. Take driving a car, for example. My generation and the ones preceding me in the U.S. … Continue reading Star Wars & Scrum Teams (Part II)

We’re getting the chance to live in the future
Early 20th Century motivational speaker and author Dale Carnegie once wrote “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” I believe that Mr. Carnegie’s point was that unless today is the literally the worst day of your life (and my sincere sympathies if it is), then the energy you spent worrying about it yesterday was largely wasted.

Give yourself a promotion using GenAI
I think we’d all agree that getting promoted is desirable. Higher wages, better job title, greater impact, and perhaps more prestige. But it’s not without its problems. Like many engineers, I started out writing code. I was good at it, and customer demand increased for my services. I then started hiring other engineers and promoted … Continue reading Star Wars & Scrum Teams (Part II)
