Dutch. Everyone can plan, most can implement, almost nobody sustains. I build what sustains: Pelgrim, Silicon Almanac. 30 yrs ops, 5 companies. Extreme sports.

December 2007, I signed up as @jorgjansen. My first tweet was "Exploring Twitter". 3,051 tweets later, I deleted the account. Today I got the handle back. 12 followers. Exploring again.

@chinoalemano @netcup @Hetzner_Online Everything I build runs on Hetzner too. It's the same pattern as my streaming subscriptions. They started at EUR 2 to 6 a month. Now most cost EUR 15 to 25. Small bills grow quietly. Do you track cost per project, or just the total?

@VoyageBliss Marriott lifetime here, and Singapore is a regular work stop. My last 4 stays there were outside Marriott. Since dynamic pricing I barely look at points. No US card bonuses in the Netherlands. For me Bonvoy is lounges and a lucky upgrade. A Ritz might bring me back.

@UniBananStates Weak forecaster, strong orchestrator' matches what I see in cost work. AI finds the patterns and runs the steps. A simple baseline still decides if a forecast is any good. Did a critic step catch the reporter's wrong conclusion?

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@okarabuilds Deciding what to ship was always the product manager's job. I write the requirements, Claude Code builds. Say 'my team built it' and people praise the product. Say 'AI built it' and they skip the deciding part.

@CSS976 I never trust a green light on its own. I look at the driver tree behind it. I once saw total revenue on target for a company with 9 shops. 2 shops made 5 times their target. The other 7 were far below. Management and the owner had no idea.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@PawanDurani do you think that's where we're heading, or is it still far off?

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@_gvieira Ha, that makes two of us. Smaller chunks, fewer surprises.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@CyanBeck Glad it helped. Good luck with the launch.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@Vinamralongani @HeathrowAirport @KLM Thanks. A day's notice at least gives you time to rebook.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@PawanDurani The part I keep thinking about: could an AI agent do that checking role? Look at where we already are today and how people use AI. I see a route where that becomes possible.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@mstockton The Goal is a good pick for this. AI speeds up the steps that were already fast. The bottleneck moves to review and decisions. I'd add High Output Management. Grove judged a manager by the output of the team. That still holds when agents do part of the work.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@_gvieira Same here, and I'm fine with that. Those AI-pilled levels only work if nobody reads the code. I'd rather ship less and still understand what got built. My review speed sets the pace.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@leducleadership Agreed. A review date per standard works at small scale. With thousands of standards and tens of thousands of procedures, nobody keeps up. How do you review and check adherence on your side?

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@rocrizzardini What I'd do: before the rollout, pick 1 business number, like cost per support ticket. Measure it before, and again in month 4. Make one person responsible for that check.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@daivings Good summary. Tip 5 is the one I'd underline. When I taught, I saw that under stress people manage 3 to 5 steps at best. Drills are what make the rest happen without thinking.

[Jorg Jansen @jorgjansen]

@mainly_miles London up 36% on 2019 stands out. How much of that is the March spillover from the Gulf hubs, and how much do you expect SQ to keep once those routes are back to normal?
