      The losing bonus point is that I don’t need to cheer England on  this evening. 
      
      A bittersweet #SixNations campaign for Scotland, but Ireland were always the better team and we never really looked like winning

      "AI has not invalidated Conway's Law" is my new fav way to concisely state my AI concerns. 
      
      And it's consistent for me, being that person that will find a way to mention Conway's Law in each company 😆🤗
      
      Solid thread.

      Those companies spent a ton of money on tech for tech’s sake.
      
      But in the real world there remains a shortage of people doing tech for business sake.
      
      AI has not invalidated Conway’s Law.
      
      It’s just right now everyone is gambling with cheap fast broken shit.

      What an insane game to wrap up the #SixNations! If Scotland had beaten Ireland that would’ve been a tough, tough pill to swallow.

      The difference in niceness between EWR and SFO is really jarring.
