Abundance isn't about unlimited spending. It's about removing friction from innovation before your competitors figure it out.

Great write up @sogrady.org. One the most amazing disruptions due to AI, the IDE.
I’ve heard more devs switching their IDE because of AI in the past year than in the past two decades (or more).
Even folks that have used vi/emacs for decades are switching to this latest batch of AI alternatives.

I’m here for zipper innovation. 🤐
Behold the zipper’s first upgrade in over a century. YKK, the Japanese company that makes about half the world’s zippers, has created a zipper that removes the traditional fabric tape, creating a lighter, more flexible, lower-impact closure. buff.ly/5UV5gnr

The Zipper Is Getting Its First Major Upgrade in 100 Years
By stripping away the fabric tape that’s held zippers together for a hundred years, Japanese clothing giant YKK is designing the future of seamless clothing.

The upcoming AI revolution will separate winners from losers based on who can experiment with multiple models and iterate rapidly on feedback.
You can't do that with scarcity thinking.

The cognitive overhead of resource requests often exceeds the cost of the resources themselves.
Think about that. Really think about it.

v1 was great. Looking forward to the upgrade.
A lot has changed since the first edition of Team Topologies was published in 2019. So, we felt it was time the Team Topologies got a bit of a refresh.
If you're ready for a new way of working, the second edition is here to help.

I affirm this statement as truthful and correct.
I believe I have said this before, but @rstephens.me is a higher order human. Not only is she intellectually brilliant, but she is also a compassionate and caring person.

Consent of the Upgraded
Software users, especially in the enterprise, are a captive audience, until they aren't. How do we respect their experience and their capacity to consent?

Your developers spend more time justifying a $50 experiment than the experiment costs. Meanwhile, you're losing thousands in opportunity cost. That's not prudent management—that's how you lose.
