The Modern Ship of Fools

A company running without an operational manual is a modern ship of fools: a full crew, might be fast engine, and no chart. Everyone on board is busy. Decisions get made, fires get put out, quarters get closed. But none of it is guide by any method — so none of it survives contact with a new hire, a departure, or a bad week. The knowledge lived in heads, not in process. The ship sails on momentum, not on navigation. ...

Lazy Loading excavation inside the Walled Garden

Original article: https://medium.com/@cjckytxz/lazy-loading-dynamic-libraries-and-building-plugin-architectures-on-ios-challenge-accepted-a554fccdb84c Lazy Loading excavation inside the Walled Garden A friendly rebuttal to “Lazy Loading Dynamic Libraries and Building Plugin Architectures on iOS — Challenge Accepted!” There’s a genre of engineering blog post that I love and distrust in equal measure: the heroic proof-of-concept. Someone is told “you can’t do X on platform Y,” they roll up their sleeves, and several diagrams later they emerge holding a working binary. The recent piece on lazy-loading dynamic libraries on iOS is a fine specimen of the genre. Make no mistake, the work is careful, the write-up is honest, and the conclusion is sober. ...

AI Consciousness Philosophy: Confident wrongness of Geofrrey Hinton

[!Important] For rather excellent, more sober and very informative point of view, please see Keynote: After the AI Hype – What’s Real, and What’s Next - Richard Campbell - 2026 Geoffrey Hinton suggests that our current understanding of consciousness may be as fundamentally flawed as creationism once was. Ditto we can not see already existing intelligence in LLM’s. If consciousness is emergent rather than sacred, it may be a universal feature—not a biological accident. We aren’t just building machines; we might be building the architecture that allows consciousness to outgrow its biological constraints. Geoff claims. ...

Four Kinds of Workflows

Summary “Workflow” is one word doing four jobs, and the collision is costing organizations clarity about what they actually own. Here’s the untangling. Just as we have different kinds of Architecture, we have different kind of Workflows. Again, DBJ Taxonomy brings order to the confusion. Feasibility replaces the struggle of intertwined responsibilities. And the required precondition of the functioning BPT (aka “the Loop”), of the DBJ Method Operating Model of the AI Readiness. ...
