The Low Code Manifesto

Low Code is coming for your job.

  

Okay, probably not. In fact, I will argue here, Low Code will make your job easier and more satisfying. That's not to say it won't be disruptive or cause some pain, like any change, but on the whole it'll make the working lives of a lot of people...

Hurry Up and Slow Down

It's a delightful oxymoron that has a few different forms: hurry up and relax, hurry up and slow down, hurry up and smell the roses. The idea is that speed is required for a task that fundamentally can't be hastened, and it illustrates a belief that seems to permeate the business world a little...

Impatience = Success

Do you know why Uber is so successful? Why DoorDash and SkipTheDishes are so successful? Do you know why Amazon has changed the game for deliveries across almost every industry? It is not as if Uber is a unique concept, nor is the idea of food being delivered to one's house. In f...

I Jumped Off the Bridge (but everyone else did it!)

It is a well documented phenomena, however flawed or impractical it may be, that humans tend to refuse to change their position on a topic even in the face of overwhelming evidence. An obvious example perhaps could be to look at outlandish conspiracy theorists, who submit claims such as the wor...

When businesses consider what their goals should be, “innovation” tends to be a key word that managers, owners, and team leads throw around often. But what does innovation mean, and how can it foster the development and growth of a business?

Deathbed Regrets

Play Devil's Advocate with me for a moment, and accept my outrageous premise. Despite what mainstream media, Hollywood productions, conventional wisdom, anecdotal evidence and history might tell us, the notion that no one, upon lying on their deathbed, wishes they spent more time at the office, is f...

Confidently Wrong

I was sitting, a few weeks ago, with friends, and we were talking and unwinding after a long week's work. An astrophysicist, an engineer, a lawyer, and a business executive, a table adorned with a beer, a glass of wine, whiskey on the rocks, and an iced tea, relaxing and enjoying the reprise th...

Observations of Man (Part 8)

Imagine, if you will, arriving to your best friend's wedding bearing a gift. Except, the gift is what might be, if I may say so, considered by the typical standard, underwhelming, as it was something that you grabbed at the last second, en route to the wedding, with ill an inspired moment of fo...

Observations of Man (Part 7)

It's the thought that counts, right? In this series we've already touched upon the notions of the means justifying the ends, as well as ascribing the same level of proper regard for human intentions as we do to inanimate objects. The next, perhaps natural, step, then, is to examine...
