On the future on Electric Vertical takeoff and landing vehicles by one of the @servicenow chaps in the UK β€œUrban Air Transport” by Kevin Saunders link.medium.com/ZUQ7orCwIab
I just bought the book about two sisters that both worked as WW2 codebreakers, and were so committed to the Official Secrets Act they didn't reveal that fact to each other for decades later. lancashirelife.co.uk/people/…

Good thought... The word is often misused. Work harder to evolve your assumption into a hypothesis.
That thing you're calling a "hypothesis" is probably just an opinion or an assumption. That's fine, just call it what it is! With a hypothesis you have a proposed explanation for something with limited evidence, and explicitly DO NOT make assumptions about its truth.

Excellent 30 minute interview with Bill McDermott (@BillRMcDermott) on his @servicenow journey. "Digital Transformation is the business opportunity of our lifetime" forbes.com/sites/richkarlgaa…

Reading @BernardMarr thoughts on wearable tech. Tommy Hilfiger has sensors to track how often garments are worn. Imagine a new business model that shares revenue with the consumer for "advertising" the product in certain fashionable locations at certain times

Replying to @NowFutureOfWork
I think a good β€œno code” system should capture the user’s intent: what was the business-level flow/ decision process? But I suspect most end up just using very low level building blocks that implement an algorithm for solving a problem, instead of clearly showing the problem.

Great thread about the flip side of Enterprise no-code platforms.
13 Feb 2020
In a no code era, everyone at a startup can β€œcommit code” which creates a new set of operational challenges & best practices. * Code reviews no longer required * Product changes hard to track * AB testing often overlooked No code tools are empowering, but hard to scale in 2020.
