The best theory of elusive enterprise AI ROI yet: AI makes workers more productive, not organization: “How can you reconcile the failure of AI in the enterprise with the individual claims of skilled technologists who insist that AI is helping them do great work?” The answer is that these AI users are “centaurs” — experienced…

Headless lifestyle: I want something from a service now, I hope the service has a CLI so I can send an agent, and I never see the interface at all. If the service doesn’t have a CLI, and it’s something I want to use regularly, then maybe I can build my own. 🔗 UX is…

Relative to your interests, Tuesday
I have been on vacation for a little while, in Finland for the third time. Finland feels different than the other parts of Europe I have been to. Perhaps it’s because I spent my time there in rural Finland. But it also feels like most of Finland is rural. In that way, it feels a…
