The most valuable resource isn't algorithms, compute, or even just data. It's context.
Tina He • Context is all you need
“We only count what we know to count, and that's strongly determined by where we stand and who we are.
I often hear people say that qualitative research isn't generalizable, by which they mean that they use "sample" that do not have the features necessary to make valid inferences about a known population.
Forget for a minute that most survey samples aren't truly random, that confidence intervals are often not included, and so on.
We're all operating with the kind of bias that makes it hard to find hay in the haystack. We're biased towards things that are already legible to us. Statistical methods make a virtue of that.
Qualitative research helps us to de-center our concepts, to expand our understanding of the frameworks and schema that operate in lesser examined corners of life.
Even numbers aren't simply a sequence of digits, but a continuum of rationality and irrationality, with the latter making up the grand majority.
Going Further is about changing your stance in ways that challenge our sense of what counts.”

to make the thing is to make its impact, its memory, the product of its extended use, its legacy, and its language. "Good Design", such that it might exist, is the art of building this phantom value in the future from the most minimal physical compromise in the present.

Velocity and possibility
seths.blog
The art of project management includes the dance between velocity and possibility.
If you describe the outcome with specificity and remove as many variables as possible, you’ll get the work done with more speed, higher reliability and less cost.
That velocity, though, might encourage us to recognize that all sorts of options are available. There are countless chances to make the project better and to find new opportunities.
Exploring the possibilities in moments of high velocity almost certainly ensures that costs will increase, reliability will be impacted and you’ll miss deadlines.
That’s because possibility is the art of being willing to be wrong. It’s exploration. It’s far easier to explore on foot than it is on a high-speed train.
The best time to explore is before you scale your investments, your commitments and the size of the team.
We seek both velocity and possibility, but not at the same time.
