It’s been a while since I could say this: we’re hiring.

We’re looking for a Senior SecOps Engineer — someone who will be right at the sharp end of protecting the infrastructure.

When management works perfectly, people start believing it is unnecessary. Nobody is panicking, and major conflicts somehow never fully explode. Which is slightly ironic, because preventing the explosion was probably the manager’s actual job all along.

Philip Crosby wrote Quality Is Free in the late 1970s. Half a century later, companies still spend enormous amounts of money fixing problems they created by trying to move faster.

@souffrantmitte1 30 лет назад, в 1996, уезжая в Прагу я (как дурак) запихнул в мягкий чемодан компьютер, корпус котрого конечно раскололся по дороге, но начинка не пострадала. Вскоре, именно на этом компьютере я сверстал первый сайт Радио Свобода — https://t.co/OBgeVM5FLo

AI does not make organizations smarter. It just makes them faster. Sometimes heading in the wrong direction.

Corporations have a habit of mistaking emotional volatility for leadership. The loudest voice is labeled decisive, while the calmest person often fades into the background. In reality, authority rarely looks like a panic-scheduled event on a calendar.

A Customer Care team that is always busy and responsive can look efficient. More often, it is the most visible sign that something upstream is broken.

Media still makes content. It just no longer decides how, when, or even why it is consumed. Distribution happens elsewhere. Attention is filtered. Meaning gets rebuilt far from where it started.

Measuring AI usage instead of results looks like a category error. Most of the time, it is. But sometimes, it is less about measurement and more about forcing a shift in how people operate.

It is not that AI is smarter. It is that it quietly made much of our work optional, and left us with the parts we usually try to avoid.

The problem with long-term planning is not that it’s wrong. It’s that it assumes the future will cooperate.

We keep telling ourselves that articles matter. That nuance still lives somewhere past the headline. But for most users, the headline is the story. Anything beyond that is already optimistic.

Fifty years ago, jogging was something you only saw in movies. Now, it is a baseline expectation. It is not much of a stretch to picture a future where mental discipline follows the same arc.

The five stages of downtime:
denial, refreshing, panic, Slack messages, and "who pushed to prod?”

Organizations talk a lot about rewarding excellence. In reality, they reward change. One who moves from average to good gets more attention than one who has quietly delivered at a high level for years

At some point, a product manager tries to align everyone with one explanation. That is usually the moment users ignore it, stakeholders push back, and the team gets it wrong.

We have spent years arguing where people should work. Home or office. Freedom or control. Comfort or discipline. Meanwhile, the real question of "how the work is designed" is quietly ignored.

“AI is writing the news now.” The sentence is convenient but compresses a very complex reality into something almost misleading. AI is indeed everywhere in the newsroom today. Just not in the role most people imagine.

In product organizations, stakeholder conversations usually get two main responses: an eager yes or a defensive no. One leads to chaos, the other to paralysis. Both are often ways to avoid the real work of negotiating priorities.
