I will first clarify my position. IT has much lower standards than many other industries, such as healthcare, civil engineering, or accounting. There isn’t mandatory training, ongoing education, or certification. IT changes quite often, although frequently only in marketing materials. With a lot of new people coming into the field, we tend to get theContinue reading “Happy paths, unhappy truths: AI and the cost of skipping failure”

Duality and nuance of AI discourse
I want to use this as a step back from the endless AI PR, paid influencers, AI-written articles, and non-critical tech journalism — both pro-AI and doomerism. Both tend to be marketing for something-AI. For the sake of argument, let’s take the ecological part out of this for now. This AI media machine we findContinue reading “Duality and nuance of AI discourse”
Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it
I have a hypothesis. Hear me out. Where we will see the biggest benefits of AI will be small teams measured (and paid) based on delivered outcome. Knowledge work, is defined by it’s non-routine and creative nature. Not two tasks are the same and the way get to the outcome have to be figured out.Continue reading “Tech AI efficiency the way companies don’t want it”
Part of learning is to change
I’m not sure if it’s somehow my upbringing, bubble or just a strange though, but I think we are missing the point of learning and that is how it changes us. It’s a change to our worldview, it’s a change to our habits, it’s a change to our self-confidence that we’ve managed to learn somethingContinue reading “Part of learning is to change”
AI written blogpost
Recently I wrote about my endless list of draft posts. One of the reasons is that it takes me quite bit of time to wrap my head around exactly what I want to say. However, AI could help with this, right? So I’ve tried it: “Dear Claude, I want to write a quick post inContinue reading “AI written blogpost”
I’m bad at CrossFit
When someone asks me if I exercise, I say that I’m shit at CrossFit. I do go to classes twice or three times a week and I have been going for a few years. I’m still a bit chubby. I injure myself every few months and exercise still hasn’t become a habit. I was cleaningContinue reading “I’m bad at CrossFit”
50 drafts
I’ve started to write this blog for myself. To have a space to train myself to write things down and to make some sense of it. It was partly learning how to write and part therapy. At the time I had some idea what I wanted to write about, but it has fairly changed overContinue reading “50 drafts”
Company culture for hardcore capitalists
I find it baffling that even in hardcore capitalistic circles, company culture and what it means for the company and profits is incredibly misunderstood. And I wonder if one of the reasons is that there is no project or programme you can run to “fix culture” and bring 10 FTE savings or salary decreases acrossContinue reading “Company culture for hardcore capitalists”
Find a ladder and keep climbing…
If you would be in a basement that would be on fire and only way out would be scolding hot metal ladder, would you climb it? What if you wouldn’t see any fire, but only a smoke? Or you wouldn’t really notice any fire, but your family from upstairs would shout at you that youContinue reading “Find a ladder and keep climbing…”
You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself
We are all on our journey through this life. We are just in different places at different times. It doesn’t mean that we will forever drift apart if we are not met as deeply as we would want. People have their own pace. There will be times when you will feel misunderstood and that’s ok.Continue reading “You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself”
