Having your own It department doesn't mean you'll be fine for security. Plenty of health systems have their own IT department and have been hit. But, even thinking of health care systems is thinking of big businesses. How does a r

Don't just look at the "big 5". I know people there. A lot of the things people get frustrated about are things MDOT requires them to do. Not long ago I was listening to someone at one of those "big 5" companies com

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is doing a terrible job. A recent audit found problems in the way they audit bids for work. I've spoken with people at road construction companies who have told me about changes that mak

One thing I don’t see talked about much regarding new housing is skilled trades. Where I live there aren’t enough doing skilled trades to produce the number houses that people want to build. That compounds the problem

There is a balance a business needs to keep. Under spend on your future (e.g., R&D) and you'll have higher profits. Until you don't have something great to sell in a few years. It's short term. Over spend on the future an

It's not just R&D. They are opening their chip making facilities to the designs of others and increasing their ability to produce chips. All of that takes capital investments and it's a new line of business. Much of this isn&#

How many places show a difference in their prices? How often to restaurants, stores, and other as a service companies doing that? I almost never see it. I wouldn't say they are doing something deliberate (in a negative sense). They are

Did Heroku fail? Heroku was the biggest in a long line of developer tools. The PaaS and now FaaS models are still alive and well. A lot of developers want them. I know people are hot on containers and k8s but devs, who need to focus on code

I think you bring up a great point. How can people do 2FA well for their situations? This is a practical question and people make many assumptions. A lot of what I know isn't clearly documented. Clearly communicating a bunch of differe

Can the world feed itself is also a matter of asking, which model of food production do we use and are we even able to realistically consider? A lot of the mismanagement comes from big AG and profit/growth goals. For example, people in

Most of the nurses I talk with speak about a lack of nurse aides. When there isn't a nurse aide the nurses have to do that work. When I speak of a lack of them I know nurses who can go multiple consecutive shifts without an aide workin

Pay is a problem. I don't disagree with that. But, before COVID there was already a supply problem. The supply problem has been slowly getting worse for years and then COVID accelerated it. If every nurse came back to working as a nurs

Half of the toxic problem is from the people being treated. The other half (and sometimes more than half) is from management and co-workers (i.e. doctors). Not all doctors are bad but enough of them are to make an impact. There's a cul

I've spoken with nurses who've had a variety of other jobs at other types of places. They are consistent in telling me that working as a nurse is a worse environment in the way they are treated. The example stories they have share

I've spent a fair amount of time talking with nurses about the problems. I'm related to a bunch of people who are nurses across disciplines (ER, ICU, med/surg, etc). It's been enlightening hearing them talk about the pro
