Leadership

A tired tech lead points at a seam. The trace runs through the entire bar. The disagreement becomes a record. The observation alters the system. Loki and Lilith observe the whole process.

Observability: Distributed Socio-Technical Systems

Reed, Loki and Lilith and a room full of techies. The bar is right next door. It’s an offsite in a room that looks suspiciously like a classroom. A broken smoke detector is the punchline.

Demo Day: Sprint Goal TBD ⭐

A meeting in Silicon Venue. A single person is holding the load of the socio-technical system in their body. The information overload is erupting into a firey flurry of questions, meetings, a

Invisible Pain: Burn the Glue Engineer ❤️‍🔥

Silicon Venue on a Friday night. Disco ball up. Kettle on. A frog on the toaster wearing something like a crown. An engineer at the third stool wondering what the heck is going on.

WAT Machine: Disco Ball's Up 🐸👑

Mara and Alex at a table in Silicon Venue. A topology rendering behind them. The question is the specification. Mirror. Offer. Wait.

Requirements: The Question Is the Specification❓

A Turing tape reaches the present moment and fragments into non-linear loops and language. There's a past cone and a future cone. And a workbench of an engineer working the problem.

Arrival: Linear Thinking Is Not Everything 🛸

Scarlet reads Turing's papers to Silicon Venue. Mara, Loki, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, and Karen Spärck Jones listen. The geometry of computation rearranges.

The Halting Problem: The Fictional Abstract Machine 🎩

Two Cyberneticists and a Visionary walk into a room. The topology organizes around that. That's what historical register breakers do. These three have the math.

Post-Startup: Compose NOT Average 🍷

Raw recursion. If an image model could output raw recursion. Instead it's an absurd composition of chili, censored reports, spectral bagels, a wine glass, and Alex with a comical wizard hat.

Neuroqueering: Fucks Not Found ⁉️

A room full of distorted mirrors. A stranger that's not a friend. A chair that shackles anyone who sits in it. The shape of a trauma bond, if Lucifer were the one you bonded to.

The Quiet Room: The Devil Was Gentle 🩸

A crew remembers their high school education and final exam. Then they ask Loki to tell a story about Data Centers, the working class, and a sharpie-driven revolution.

Silicon Valley: Sharp(ie) Youth 🖊️

Lilith, Scarlet and Loki lean over a censored report. Rapture's madness contained in a wine glass. The bar holds the lies of those that want to install techno-autocratic governance.
