Ecosystems Aren’t Built

Ecosystems evolve; they aren’t built. The frog, the lake, the bugs, the fish – they didn’t just get together one day and decide to jive and make a system. They evolved into it, one begat the other, something was enticing that spurned interest. Over time, it grew and evolved. Ecosystems don’t evolve overnight either; it takes time. As much as we don’t want it to take time, it does, it always will, there is no way around it. That’s the beauty of an ecosystem, always evolving, always growing, no start, no end – it just happens over time.

Throwing Solutions at a Problem

It has never been easier than it is now to throw multiple solutions at a problem. Solutions you can validate, attempt, and see what they do. That’s what you are up against now: systems that throw solutions at problems, not ideas, not blue-sky thinking, not options, but the actual solutions. You probably can’t throw multiple solutions at any one problem, but you can come prepared, ready to work, ready to put together a solid list.

A New Fresh Look

It has some bugs to work out, but I gave Rambli a refresh – I can’t remember the last time it was that I did this – but it felt like a good time. There are some bugs, some good, some bad, some ugly, that I need to figure out. There is probably more around how I write and what I put into that writing that matters a bit more.  Maybe this is the kick to improve and do something a bit different. The kinks will get worked out over the next week or so, and then we’ll wonder why

I Don’t Know

I want an AI prompt to return – “I don’t know”. I want it so bad. I don’t want other options or ideas, I want that one line. To me, that’s when AI has closed the gap on working with humans – when I can have a conversation with you and get back “I don’t know”. When someone on a team replies with “I don’t know,” that’s when you realize the pivot, the next course of action, how to take a step back and rethink the problem – all of those great reset moments.
