  • Completely agree.

    I’ve got clients who I can see immediate benefits right now, and I’ve got clients where I don’t think it’s a good idea yet. Most of those that could benefit it’s small tweaks to workflow processes to save a few FTE here and there, not these massive scale rollouts we’re seeing.

    Unfortunately Microsoft, along with other companies, are selling fully scale sexy to executive when full scale sexy isn’t actually ready yet. What’s available does work for some things, but it’s hard to get an executive team to sign off on a project for testing to save only 10 employees worth of work in a 2000 person company when they’re simultaneously a) worried about it going horribly wrong, and b) worried about falling behind other companies by not going fast enough.




  • What do their choices have to do with your choices?

    Those two things are entirely independent.

    Someone else won the lottery today, does that mean you should rush out and buy a ticket?

    No, because what happened to them isn’t likely to happen to you.

    Just to add to the statistics, many thousands of Americans win more than a million dollars every year on the lottery.

    You’re still feeling rather than thinking. It’s no skin off my nose if you choose to live a shitty life because you cant properly assess risk,. Good luck, but you’re probably going to die of a heart attack. Maybe you should worry about that instead.


  • Humans suck at estimating risk when large or small numbers are involved. Your brain can’t even comprehend 2.5 million people. You see a shooting on the news three times over multiple years and become afraid. That’s completely irrational.

    All you’ve done is proven that your feelings matter more than the reality.

    When you let your feelings control you, and they’re that far off from reality, you’re going to make bad choices.
