@christopherrufo Dollar for dollar, homes are more affordable today than 30 or 40 years ago. It is not close. Lying to the kids to stop the tantrums is a bad plan.

Large truck manufacturer with two divisions you'd recognize ran two completely different PLMs and spent 120K hours a year fixing eBOM>mBOM aww shits. They lose a large % of new engineers despite a 6 month onboarding due to them concluding it's a clown show.

GE ran 322 ERPS in 2015. Not making that up. They could not buy toilet paper under one part ID, they can't diversify suppliers.

@MFG_SMB Whether they admit it or not, the edge of the supply chain derisks their business. Day in and day out you figure out how to do things they can never do, quite frankly - because if they could, they would.

Some know this, some do not.

@CRudinschi This will not end well.

@johnkonrad Just replaced the gear at the base of the steering shaft and the pie plate gear on the 20 yr old ride-on mower. It's like meditation.

[Paul Boris @PaulBoris_]

@jeff4011 @DoWCIODavies @SecWar @DeptofWar I guess that's one way to look at it.

[Paul Boris @PaulBoris_]

Most people struggle with what he says at the end. I wish he explained that principles - God, family, honoring business commitments - are only valuable in the decision process if prioritized.

He does prioritize them, 1) get to a good church, that is free, 2) family before anyone else (food, house, etc), then 3) everyone else.

If you want your business rep (aka ego) to be #1, expect to lose the rest.

Once I figured that out, all the rest fell into line.

@JoshpHaywood How is this not a plank in the DSA platform?

@CalebChamberla6 Layer that onto the "new vibe-coded custom manufacturing OS we built" and this is truly monkeys with dynamite.

I love the enthusiasm and the speed, but there is a huge landmine being planted if you're not careful.

[MurrayMentor @MurrayMentor]

The big hurdles:
- Motivated folks building sol'ns for problems they don't fully understand
- Lean teams who want a perfection before applying tech
- Data teams claiming your data is garbage when the critical data isn't even being collected

Honor the Skill. Build the future.

This is the way.

@PaulBoris_ True story: jesse was about to quit because he wanted to learn milling and also programming and not just be stuck on cnc lathe. We gave him career plan and he became one of our best 5axis programmers and was featured on CNN segment.

[Paul Boris @PaulBoris_]

Dude, sorry, dust in my eye...

Problem is that Jesse is not stupid. If leadership knows training him will raise his wage, Jesse knows it for certain.

We used to run 1/2 day Saturday training and enablement session at the first shop I ran, an investment cast foundry. One of the employees asked me what I thought my job was.

Me: "to elevate your wages"
Owner: falls over
Team: cheers

Me: "Hold on, nothing in life is free. We can only do that if we drive out waste and increase revenue - then we get to share some of that."

I can still picture the paneling on the wall in the training room - this was 35 years ago...

Back in those days, you couldn’t see your friends on the timeline. It was all ChatGPT slop from people in Nigeria and Pakistan.

Newly released video of Gundo Boys as kids - this explains a lot.

Re-Industrialize!

[𝕏 Ghana 🇬🇭 @xghana_]

A mother asked her kids to recreate how all 3 got on top of the wardrobe.

You wouldn’t believe your eyes 😅

[Paul Boris @PaulBoris_]

It goes without saying that you're allowed to post about anything you want, not sure where you imagine I suggested that was the issue. And yes, preparation and compliance was a huge burden, which has now been lifted.

My point is that while killing it last week would have been even better, killing it now is better than later. That's a good but certainly not optimal approach.

I suspect what will emerge is a better solution to the problem from both a cost and intended outcome perspective.

@GabrielJClark It was a very unique place - family oriented. We lived above and behind the bar - my wife tells people I grew up in a bar...
