I provide ad-hoc consulting and training services to a number of different companies and organizations. If any of those represent a conflict of interest with my writing here I will disclose that in the relevant post. [1]
"you don't know for sure" is why you shouldn't be your own arbiter of what represents a conflict of interest.
> Software Engineers, like all licensed professional Engineers will be just fine, as AI can't assume liability, nor be professionally licensed.
There's no such licensing, unlike other fields such as medicine you are not required by law to hold any license or qualification to perform software engineering.
I'm really pleased he's embraced long form videos showing the steps (and the failures) along the way, in the early videos you can hear he's apprehensive about if people would find it interesting in a world of short form content.
He also has really great editing where he'll sometimes show the success of a step first if it's a long journey to keep interest and then go back through the details so you can tell he's put care into the production.
I also enjoy his humourous Paul Thurrott-like jabs at himself and the problems he hits too, it feels like he has a nice humility about himself.
They're working on it, they've recently stopped allowing the Australian government to be treated a single customer. [1]
While each agency still gets the same whole of government pricing for the next five years, I worry the next step is to make each agency negotiate their own individual licences, which squeezes the smaller ones with no bargaining power.
Highly recommend this, I no longer need any spam filtering following this approach.
My old Gmail would be loaded with spam and the filter would screw up and mislabel legitimate mail. Now, no spam at all.
It also helps when your email is involved in a data breach which is becoming the norm now.
Although be prepared for awkward in person interactions when a business wants your email. Everything from "no, your email silly not mine" to "I own this business name you can't have it in your email address"
> I even remember the days when dailies were actually held standing up in the office.
I switched my team to text based daily updates submitted anytime before ~10am.
A nice perk was it gave people the option to do it at the end of the day to help plan their following day so they hit the ground running in the morning. It was especially useful for Mondays where people spent time filling dead air on calls trying to remember what they were doing on Friday.
Everyone could see what was happening, stalled work and people going off track were really obvious if the updates weren't specific enough. "still working on" and "I couldn't solve it so I'm going try and run git bisect over 10 years of commits to see where it breaks"
Management were happy that they were getting their status updates and we could all stay in the zone for the whole morning.
