Weeknotes

Wekelijkse reflecties over werk, technologie (en het leven). Dit zijn mijn weeknotes - korte updates over waar ik over nadenk, aan werk en wat ik leer. Ik schrijf zoal over de spanning tussen technologie en beleid, de uitdagingen van digitale transformatie, en hoe we betekenisvolle verandering kunnen bewerkstelligen. Zoals over maken boven schrijven, de realiteit van hosting in slow motion, gedachten over kunstmatige intelligentie, en waarom email dood is.

The Paradox

It’s been two weeks since my last note, and I can’t stop thinking about Machine Law. It’s consuming my thoughts. I find myself working out technical solutions in my head at night, thinking through implementation details during my commute, sketching out ideas whenever I have a spare moment.

Experiments with Machine Law

Last week, I wrote about joining Bureau Architecture and the energy I found there. This week, I want to share what I’ve been experimenting with: what I’ve been calling “Machine Law.”

Back to Weeknotes: New Beginnings at Bureau Architecture

It’s been 15 months since my last (and first) weeknote. That’s far too long, but here we are. This week marks a new beginning as I joined Bureau Architecture, and it feels like the right moment to restart this practice.

Software Engineering in an Ivory Tower?

Last Tuesday, on my 6th day at the government, I took this picture. I sit on the 31st floor in the right tower. Five floors from the top. (Interestingly, there doesn’t seem to be a correlation between floor and status. At least it is not direct or inverse). It looks suspiciously ivory.

Leaving Spotify, joining the Government

I had my last day at Spotify a bit over a month ago. Thanks, everyone for the incredible journey, working alongside such great people and contributing to Spotify Search. It was an enriching experience that will stay with me!
