So, #London, at this point has:

– 1 Amazon Go store (cashier-less)
– 6 Amazon Fresh stores
– 1 Amazon 4-star store

Modern IT stands on a foundation of definitions that nobody understands.

Raise your hands if you work in an enterprise end-user organization and you had AT LEAST one meeting to agree on what “private cloud” meant. Or what “devops” meant. Or what “noops” means. Or…

Stretched analogies and ambiguous nomenclature for complicated taxonomies.

Remember that the path to confusion always starts from a complex language. Because ideas spread through language.

Service Governor
DevOps
NoOps
Private Cloud

History repeats itself over and over.

@fintanr @cpswan Orchestration did not always have a conductor. It’s quite a recent “invention”. In the 17th century, a member of the ensemble would act as a conductor. The 1st violin.
In opera, there were 2 conductors.
So what are we going to do if/when the choreographer decides to be on stage?

“Orchestration” was not good enough. So let’s use “Choreography” now.

What’s the difference?

Well, one is about music, the other is about dance.

But I mean in IT…

Oh, sorry: one is about music, the other is about dance.

At 19, I was studying at the university to become a lawyer and, part-time, I was mounting motherboards inside tower PCs.

So I know he’s having jolly good fun.

What is the book that changed your life? (not novels or religious texts)
