Approaching the problem

Like I explained in my introduction, Building from Scratch, a challenge usually has more than meets the eye, and I think part of what makes a tech consultants, product managers, solution architects, etc. good at their job is understanding the depth of a challenge and what might go into a solution.

Building from scratch

A small challenge to myself: if I want to build a web app from scratch, where do I start? A blank canvas is challenging, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Conversations, not broadcasts

Feeling nostalgic about the internet of the past, I explore forums as a sense of community, influencers seeking validation, and how a world of big data - bringing everyone closer together, makes it harder to maintain a sense of community.

A better way to board an airplane

In the world of things that cause unnecessary stress, boarding a plane is one of them. Everyone boards a little differently, and they all suffer from the same issues that leave the boarding process feeling inefficient and ripe for restructuring.

How inefficient am I?

When work has no baselines, how do you measure productivity and efficiency? And what if you're billing for that time? No answers here, just a thought process.
