So I haven't said anything about Elon Musk or Twitter because a) I am really trying to allocate my fucks given away from my areas of impotency, and b) the only appropriate commentary is gallows humor, and there are many people much funnier than me on the job.

Interesting piece. As an architect I find it very helpful to embed with teams on detail-orientated work. High level strategy should help align detail-orientated work, and detail-orientated work should inform high level strategy. This is a practical approach to achieving that.

This is a real problem! You have to rely on leaders and sub-leaders in groups and functions communicating decisions downward and funnelling concerns upwards to ensure you don’t end up with massive meetings.

Being able to think about nothing but what is right on front of me - the here and now - for an hour. Everything else is forgotten for that hour playing football.

I recall you telling me and I thought you were all succumbing to the drink and a case of group-think. Turns out you all had much bigger balls 😜 I also thought this was way more than 10 years ago!

Seems like Twitter Spaces is not happy with 500K people for the Ron DeSantis announcement. Has crashed my app three times so far trying to open it.

As a Director at Amazon, I repeatedly saw that big tech career incentives basically guarantee cycles of too much growth, and then layoffs. I just had someone email me, and say that they're worried about their career as a development manager. 🧵
