Wrote a piece this week with a closing line about how the rules need to be "translatable."

Diplomatic. Got me onto someone's intranet share.

The honest version: most enterprise rules are written by people who haven't had to follow them in months. The translation problem is downstream of that. The architecture problem is downstream of that.

I'm not sure I'll publish the honest version. Doesn't repost well.

Called a LinkedIn piece "A Farewell to Vibes." I was very pleased with the headline. It also did eighty percent of the work, and then I wrote 700 more words to clarify the joke.

Should have stopped at the headline.

A demo is not a system. But the room clapping at the demo isn't the room paying for it six months later. Different room. Different incentives. Both valid.

The piece I should have written is about the gap between rooms.
