If Julius Caesar’s motivation to cross the Rubicon and begin a Cataline-like insurrection against the Republic, was because he was facing financial ruin after taking out loans to fund the sword and shield, and then he became the wealthiest person at that time, where did the money come from, and what are the #LessonsLearned, chat?

Last night, I got my 6th DUI.
At this point, you’d think I’d learn. But as I sat there, watching the officer shake his head in disappointment, I realized…
This is exactly what happens to sales teams that refuse to change.
They keep making the same mistakes. They ignore the warning signs. They double down on bad habits, thinking, This time will be different.
But success—whether on the road or in business—requires adjustments. You have to recognize patterns, correct course, and, occasionally, hand over the keys to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Because in sales, just like in driving, you can’t keep making reckless decisions and expect a different outcome.

How do you see today’s world learning from the Abbasid Golden Age? Are we embracing mistakes as catalysts for progress, or do we still treat them as ends in themselves?

I can admit by now: doing this blockchain stuff was not my thing. I tried it for four months and learned my lesson.
Just wanted to put this out loud for the sake of therapy... Now I know a bit of that and in long run that gives me a better perspective of the tech industry.

In the fast-paced world of AI and data science, delivering production-level solutions for corporate clients can feel like navigating a minefield. Our recent project at Microsoft for a major company taught us invaluable lessons, from generating synthetic datasets to implementing hybrid search methods. Join me as I share the top 10 lessons we learned that can help anyone in this space thrive! #AI #DataScience #LessonsLearned
Continued thread
The project’s core revolved around iterating on our approach, leading to valuable insights on performance and metrics. By continuously refining our metrics against expert feedback, we unlocked significant improvements in code generation reliability. What lessons did we learn? Stay tuned as we breakdown our iterative process! #ContinuousImprovement #LessonsLearned

I hope one of the #LessonsLearned is to implement a “maker-checker” protocol.
For many hierachical, command-and-control, authority-conscious organizations, this can be a common #AntiPattern: the head/executive/leader goes offline to create “content”, and nobody reviews it for #sensemaking, #blindspots, or unintended #messaging.
How can you support a community online? Here's what I've learned from the many online meetings I've designed & facilitated.

This is my origin story of how I became a conservative: the preservation of #history, where all the #LessonsLearned, repeating patterns, and wisdom are stored.

I don’t necessarily disagree.
Everyone is a product of their time.
300 years ago #society and #culture was 300 years removed from the Fall of Constantinople.
300 years before that the last ethnocratic theocracies of the Crusader States still existed.
What were the cumulative #LessonsLearned at any point in time?

If you've been doing this job a long time, staying open to new ideas is crucial; otherwise, you might miss an opportunity to try something new (and potentially better).
Daily Inspiration: "The euphoria of winning is often soon offset by the reality of achieving!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Do you remember that phrase, "underpromise and overdeliver." It's a useful mindset for achieving goals!
But what happens if you "overpromise and underdeliver" - does that work?
Nope.
Lots of folks are soon to find that out.
Remember the Fyre Festival? Awesome times! The reality? It was so underdelivered that it became the subject of not one, but two full-length documentaries - including one called "Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened."
Massive promises never delivered. Oops. The founder went to jail.
So - to that point - a lot of people now expect things to suddenly get massively better in the next little while because, well, all the problems will be fixed.
Here's the thing - it's going to be tough to improve on an economy that is already firing on all cylinders. It's going to be difficult to bring back entire industries - think about the automotive sector - that have not already made the investments that are necessary to get to the future. It's going to be difficult to provide jobs that require newly emerging skills if you haven't done the retraining necessary with people to fill those jobs. It's not going to be easy to have a successful economy that is massively reliant on migrant labor if you are going to try to terrorize those people. It's going to be tough to take away healthcare and old age security from folks when the very people who voted for come to realize that you were talking about taking away their healthcare and old age security! It's going to be difficult to fire millions of federal workers when people suddenly come to realize how those workers make things function.
Oops. Fun times ahead.
Here's the thing about overpromising - as soon as it becomes apparent that all you can do is underdeliver, mindsets move.

#Politics is going to be everything, everywhere, all at once.
It will be inescapable.
Fascism is relentless.
Authoritarians are paranoid.
Egos are fragile.
It survives by terrorizing the people.
Transgenerational suffering produced this outcome and is also the well of knowledge to survive and thrive in the #SecondRedemption.
Black #American folks got through the end of Reconstruction.
The #LessonsLearned are there in the #history books.

Jenseits der Kritik gibt es aber auch Tipps und #LessonsLearned. Damit wir alle eher wissen, wie man mit der Verantwortung rund um den Betrieb eines IT-Dienstes besser umgehen.
Weil noch besser als Transparenz *nach* einem Sicherheitsvorfall ist, wenn dieser gar nicht erst entsteht.

Then, one more level down, I ensure that my commit messages capture the why of the change, not just the how. If this is difficult, it’s likely that you're mixing different types of changes in the same commit. Finally, at the code level, I do my best to make the intent of the code clear through naming, finding the right abstractions, or, when necessary, using comments.

Matthias Noback has explained this extensively in his book "Principles of Package Design". For a real-world example, check out my library, Liquid Projections, to see how this can be implemented in .NET.

And even if it's outdated, it may still offer valuable insights into past design decisions.

Lastly, don’t forget #documentation. Clearly document your code for both your team and your users. Well-documented code saves time, prevents errors, and fosters collaboration.
Which strategy do you follow for stable releases?
