"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" – Ecc9:10
The personal blog of Michael J Pierce
What’s that smell in this room? Didn’t you notice it, Brick? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?
One of mankind’s greatest deceptions, the ability to self-delude ourselves.
We judge others by their actions, and ourselves by our intent.
A video for test
There is so much advancement of technology, I can’t keep up at the moment. Chrome, FireFox, Drupal, WordPress, Video, Live Streaming, Angular vs React, SSL, HTTP/2. Upgrades to the tooling I’ve built have been put off so long, that now they are beginning to be incompatible.
I can see, now, that I’ve been swimming in an ocean of sorts. There is a strong current of technical change and technical debt, that is pulling me out to sea.
A Riptide!!!!
Now I knew the answer: Swim parallel to shore to get out of the current, then swim back to shore.
Sideways for a while, it is.
A successful change program is determined by the following relationship (Cunningham, M. Agile Ottawa presentation, May 2012):
D x V x F > R
where
D is the dissatisfaction with the status quo;
V is a clear, compelling, believable vision;
F is the first and reinforcing steps;
R is resistance to the change.
That’s beautiful, isn’t it.
