I hope having any part of your company moving in tandem with any other part wasn't key to your strategy.
If you thought function based silos were bad, wait until you're hit with delusion based silos.

in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything
REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?
TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

IME, the difference between R&D initiatives and product feature discovery work is that R&D is about big swings. R&D yields new capability, IP, infrastructure & ops even, to enable varying product applications. It’s likely to be more generative. There’s more appetite to discard things tried & failed.

Influencers don’t have to live most large platform, large company problems, or living a problem across the evolution of a business. Those types of learnings you have to live through. You gain insight from hindsight.

The real value-add process looks something like this:
- Find out what people are doing.
- Understand why they are doing it.
- If there's a better thing to be doing, figure out why they are not doing that instead.
- Make the desirable behavior possible, visible, preferable, and understadable.

UX design is struggling because stakeholders have retreated into elaborate fictions, making decisions based on carefully groomed metrics rather than user needs.
To start fixing what's broken, we have to get out of Figma and build influence, trust, and - most importantly - relational power.

I do not have a source specifically to confirm this, but I’m 100% confident that DOGE does not have a COBOL programmer, let alone someone who could remotely understand these systems.
