Maybe you’ve heard about OKR in an executives-only grapevine. You heard other guys saying they’re having lesser headaches with their teams.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Everyone talks about transformation these days, but the term is used so loosely that it’s begun to lose all meaning. I recently wrote a blog post suggesting that the ultimate test of transformation is whether the caterpillar became a butterfly – is it so different that it’s unrecognizable? That’s a useful metaphor, but many have asked me to make it more tangible in the world of institutions.

DevOps has evolved in response to a growing demand for greater business agility. It is, as the late Robert Stroud described it, an imperative for survival. But changing institutionalized behavior, he said, is the "toughest of all management challenges."

When we talk about UX, we often refer to the UX of the products we build and use. We want our products to be easy to use. Interactions should be quick. Mistakes should be easy to recover from. These things are also good to have in the tools we use to build software, especially programming languages. I’ve worked in a fair number of languages: Java for almost 15 years, PHP for 8, Javascript for 8, and dabbled in a few others like C# and Go.
