This is a pretty dumb post, in which I argue that functional programming has a lot of the bad parts of libertarianism and a lot of the good parts: Both ideologies strive to eliminate [the] state. (ok, dumb dad joke). Both ideologies are driven by a set of dogmatic axioms rather than a practical goal: Libertarianism wants to reduce the government because any involvement distorts free markets.

You sit down for an earnest performance improvement conversation. Things improve for a minute. And the next day (or the day after), she’s back to her “hot mess” behavior. Sound familiar? Maybe it’s her. Some people are hard to reach. But before you write her off as “unfixable,” take a hard look at your approach. Center Your Performance Improvement Conversation Around These Four Components.

Bob Gourley. Our post on Five Suggestions To Reduce Your Digital Risk generated quite a bit of attention in social media. Thanks as always for sharing things we write. Clearly for many of you this one seemed to be something you wanted friends and family to see and we appreciate that. The post also generated a common question/suggestion. Many of you asked which DNS services should be considered.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Once upon a time, a new client shared his vision for a change that he was responsible for implementing, but which would require significant work by other people in the organization to get it done. His approach was to convince a senior leader to make the goal and the path to achieving it mandatory. He wanted several teams to be required to meet on a regular basis to work on improving a new set of metrics he developed.

Carol was visibly shaken on the other end of the phone. Karin, you know that new job I got, well I lost it. I mean, it’s not really my fault, the contract they had anticipated didn’t come through. I get it. But what bothers me more than anything is what my boss said a few days after I got the news. He said, “You never showed up in any meeting as well as you did in the interview.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Brigg Patten. Big Data is a big business opportunity thanks to its transformative and disruptive nature. Every business, regardless of size, should understand the significant potential of big data if it has any goal of staying ahead of the competition in a world where the market is constantly changing. It is unfortunate that not many know what big data is, or how to deal with it, but that is partly because the term does not have a precise definition.

Every organization occupies a unique place on the spectrum of digital transformation. Whether they have an accurate perception or understanding of what that means to their business is the bigger concern. Some see digital as little more than a portfolio of projects or initiatives to be implemented, others as a problem to be solved or an opportunity to be exploited, and yes, there are always those who fail to see it at all.

Making your website or web app available to a wider audience often requires it to be available in multiple languages. For non-English projects, you can increase your audience by releasing it in English as well as your native language. Internationalizing and localizing your project, however, becomes a much easier process if you start during its infancy.

Rick Delgado. We’d all love to see the world. It’s on our bucket list to travel more, and we always brag to friends and families about the day where we’ll get to pack a suitcase and take off to explore the globe. But let’s face it. Who really has the cash? With bills, holidays, and general day-to-day expenses, any pocket money we have certainly isn’t enough to book an plane to the Bahamas for a week.

It’s that time of year when I like to take the balcony view to figure out where the world is going, at least some of the key trends. I’ve long been a fan that while you can’t predict the future, you can take the long view and play out multiple future scenarios so you are ready for (most) anything. But I’m an even bigger fan of the idea that rather than predict the future—create the future.

Chapter 25. “Your friend Dick is a storyteller,” said Agnes, “because he loves the subject of his stories, and his desire to share their stories is how he shows his gratitude. More important, though, is that in learning their stories, he can adjust his approach and create the environment that will be the most productive for his team. That’s the raw material for stoking your business.”.

Bob Gourley. One of the enjoyable things about estimating the future is there is always a new consideration. It is a dynamic task that is never done. This is especially true in analyzing the future of enterprise technology, where things are moving incredibly fast. We try to find balance in tracking the future of technology by focusing on the metatrends, those very powerful forces that sweep over us all (whether we want them to or not).

Love. It’s just damn good business. I know this to be true. I also understand a broader reality: Many leaders don’t buy it. Even if they agree in spirit, they reject the idea in practice. They think it is idealistic, naive, and impractical. So they don’t spend much time cultivating love at work. Where do they focus? Technology. A recent study by Korn Ferry found that 63 percent of the 800 leaders they interviewed said technology will be their firm’s greatest source of com
