Intuit FAIL - And All Because Of A Failure To Communicate! https://john.philpin.com/2024/10/24/intuit-fail-and.html
Just joined a Discord and was asked to ‘introduce myself’. This is what I said …
I have lived at the intersection of ‘people empowerment through technology transformation’ for most of my career.
Problem - most of those people were INSIDE corporations and if you were on the outside - forget about it - yo... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/10/24/just-joined-a.html

The constant push by industry and as a result - Academia to specialize, specialize, specialize has resulted in way too many specialized specialists and very few ‘cloud hoppers’.
Cloud Hopping has always been a differentiator.

Spotted On LinkedIN. I have some thoughts.
"“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.""

📸 That ‘building’ towering above all those other buildings?
Yeah. That’s a boat!
So tomorrow?
In App purchase of $20 or $200 - wonder if their intention is to only allow the app to be used with paid accounts?
Meanwhile, have to say
Arc replacing Safari AND Perplexity replacing Google is SPECTACULAR.
"What’s more, crypto investors have been in a holding pattern as they wait to see the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, with many hopeful that a Donald Trump victory will invigorate the markets."
💬 The Information
Yup. Thats why it is crypto investors in the VC class have thrown their weight behind the clown.

I like to think of every organization being a magic box.
3 inputs [I] : people, capital and tangible assets
2 outputs [0] : products and services
The rest is just context.
I get it. I really do. But how do you KNOW?
Here’s something I just did in another post in the Micro Blog client and 🤯
Type a number like 7 and then type a maths symbol (say *) and then type another number (say 13) and finish of with ‘=’
7 * 13 =91
Here’s the thing - ‘91’ just appeared automatically when I typed ‘='

Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:
"After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the moment—especially this week!"
I don’t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;
A hotel room not sold on Monday night can’t be sold Tuesday.
John can’t sell this week’s sponsorship next week.
If I don’t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.
I’ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, I’m just letting this lie.

🔗 You are the center of concentric circles, Mark Dykeman
It’s another one of those Dunbar posts, the concentric circles are so random that I was reduced to asking ChatGPT ..
"“What is the difference between a friend, good friends, best friends and close friends?"
A less than satisfactory answer, though it did seem to agree with me (and the author) that a ‘Best Friend’ is closer than a ‘Close Friend’. Other than that? Yeah - no.
And the numbers
5 close/best friends
10 more best / close friends
35 more good friends
Why did he bother writing the piece? Why have I bothered commenting on it?
