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.
