Entreprenuer Questions

SoCal CTO

Chris Gammil and I just spent some quality time together with a new, private group that is advising start-ups here in Los Angeles. The goal is to have start-ups learn from each other and from others who have been through the experience. So, far it's turning out great. The primary question we ask is: What's Keeping You Up at Night Chris provided a list of common issues: How much is enough?

The Moral Hazard of IT projects

The Agile Manager

The longer an IT project is expected to take, the greater the risk of moral hazard : i.e., that IT will provide poor information to its business partners or have incentive to take unusual risks to complete delivery. This is not borne of maliciousness. People on an IT project are not necessarily out to defraud anybody. It may simply be that people incompletely scope the work, make assumptions about skills and capabilities, or are overly optimistic in estimates.

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

SoCal CTO

Andrew Warner from Mixergy posted - Before Looking for Funding, Get an Advisor. He recommends that early stage companies get input from people who know the funding process, know the vertical, etc. That's great advice. Of course, it's sometimes hard to find advisors. On the flip side, as a person who regularly advises early stage start-ups, I often have a hard time finding interesting start-ups.

Life's Turns

elsua: The Knowledge Management Blog

I wasn't certain if I had this post in me. My two prior posts about Google Sites were a welcome, and needed diversion. Last week I posted about my own 25th Wedding Anniversary. Given this is a technical blog, I felt it was time to refocus on hard content. God had other plans for me. Wednesday night, my Mom died. Perhaps I can pass along some learnings.

Google Sites. Nice. Not a wiki

elsua: The Knowledge Management Blog

Google has a new service named Google Sites. You can read Google's own announcement , or watch a short video demonstration. In short, this free service allows anyone to create a collaborative web portal. However, although you may give anyone you desire full edit privileges, the service does not act like a wiki (anonymous edit, open invitations to join site, RSS, etc).
