Opinions are my Own. Logistics super-nerd. Love my ATL, family, dogs and gin. And yes, that is a laser scan of forest in the background if you were wondering...

@fortworthchris Curious in terms of what would increase political will for more industrial. What about mixed use? Any successful/economically sustainable examples of mixed-use industrial?

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild:

40 direct reports, no 1:1s
- Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer
- Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting
- Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great"

No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system"
- Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.
- Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it
- Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning

Everyone has all the context, all the time
- No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute
- "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?"
- "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly"
- "I do a lot of reasoning out loud"

No formal planning cycles
- No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan
- Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is)

This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible

@Twiceroadsfool @BIM360 AWS Lambda gave up and took a union 15 yesterday. All is resolved per the AWS health report now thank gawd.

[Jthinkfirst @jamesthinkfirst]

@PhilosophyBIM It was most likely AWS being completely down to yesterday. I assume today it is back up and runniny? AWS Lambda specifically…

@becktechnology 20k active users is awesome! You have come so far! Well done.

@Gytaco They act as a passive sun shading system. 🤦‍♂️

@Twiceroadsfool @DFWscanner Yikes. Seems like Texas really loves vicious storms. Pretty sure that would kill my pekingese. #savethepekingese
