Values tell people what leadership hopes will happen.
Incentives tell people what leadership actually expects will happen.

When values and incentives disagree, incentives almost always win.

Quote of the Day: Values describe desired behavior. Incentives reveal expected behavior.

[Jeff 'JeffOps' Wouters @JeffWouters]

An organization might say it values collaboration, learning, quality, and transparency.
But if it rewards heroics, promotes individual output, punishes mistakes, and celebrates deadline recovery, people will behave accordingly.

He copied a value out of the Windows Event Log.

Pasted it into his special browser.

And he was signed into Microsoft Entra as the user who had just authenticated.

No password. No phishing link. No stolen private key.

AI isn't good at coding because it understands code, it's good because coding fits its limitations.

[Jeff 'JeffOps' Wouters @JeffWouters]

AI answers questions. Learning requires asking the right ones.

Quote of the Day: Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

I just discovered the quality difference between someone that starts scripting in a project, and someone that designs/thinks before scripting...
Next week I'll be fixing code from the first of the two categories :-(
