OKRs—Objectives and Key Results—have become a popular goal-setting framework in tech and beyond. They were designed to bridge the gap between strategy and execution, promising focus, alignment, and accountability. But too often, they’ve turned into something else entirely: a quarterly ritual of checklists, dashboards, and performance metrics that smother the original intent. I’ve seen it […]

Expansion Joints
Back in the days when I did live talks, one of my abilities was to finish on time, even if my talk time was cut at the last moment (perhaps due to the prior speaker running over). The key to my ability to do this was to use Expansion Joints – parts of the talk […]
A Growing Case for Direct Internet Access?
MPLS, long a mainstay of enterprise networking, has been supplanted by direct internet access as more managers deploy the less expensive and more versatile alternative.

Conversation: LLMs and Building Abstractions
This process cannot be reduced to a static prompt for an LLM. Reviewing LLM-generated code is rarely enough—you miss the deep thinking that happens when you are coding yourself. In this stage, LLMs are most valuable as brainstorming partners: they can suggest alternative designs or ways of structuring code, but you should resist letting them […]
