My nephew was supposed to fly in from CA today, but it looks like his flight was cancelled.
This shows the danger and fragility when companies rely on a small handful of providers.
It also shows the downside of frequent, automatic software releases.

Strategic Simplicity® is the Key to Business Success
There’s too much friction in going to the movies. You’ve got to look up the time, get in your car, park, pay, sit through a zillion trailers, and maybe commercials, and endure the great unwashed populace.
But on Netflix… It’s on demand, ready when you are. To watch straight through, to pause, to see again and again.
This is the modern paradigm. He with the most friction loses. Didn’t the music business prove this?"

The Mythical Man-Month
hashta work.
For example,
Adding more farm workers to pick wheat is productive because the work can be divided and they don't have to communicate with each other.
Adding more hashtagprogrammers to a project falling behind does not increase hashtagproductivity because they have to communicate / coordinate / share constraints.

AI is a Complement, Not Replacement, for the Human Touch
AI will complement, but not replacement human touch.
It will be a valuable tool for companies that want to empower their customers and simplify the user experience. However, like any tool, AI has its limitations.
For complex and stressful situations, clients will still want to talk with humans, who can provide empathy and flexibility.

Innovation Isn't About Hard Skills
All of the hard skills listed above are superseded by curiosity. You could be an expert in all those skills but, if you don't have the curiosity to play with concepts, try new things, and go down dead ends, then you won't reach your potential for innovation.
Conversely, if you are weak on the hard skills, but are curious and playful, you'll succeed.

Three Keys to Technology-Based Innovation
1. Value simplicity. If your solution is not the simplest and easiest to use, it will lose in the marketplace to the one that is.
2. Recognize the power of iteration. It's not "succeed or fail", it's "succeed or iterate". Failure only occurs if you give up.
3. Embrace analog over digital thinking. Digital thinking is all or nothing, while analog thinking recognizes that result is a spectrum, and a partial success is often very valuable.
