Omg. They flowered.

In the sept issue! How to tell supply chain histories. Specifically, the story of India's software industry.

Post doc opportunity on computational infrastructures "How do computational infrastructures expand into sectoral organizations? Are current (digital) policies adequate in responding to their impact on administration of justice?" careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-Po...

Reading 1980s lit on large technical systems and loving it.

Happy plants + moody Juno

Writing from scratch. Draft zero sort of situation. Can someone remind me how it's done.

I am starting to sense the very real fears of job loss among software developers and data scientists. Bosses talking to team leads, telling the that the upper echelons want to co-pilot their way into smaller dev teams.

Back in 🇩🇪 NRW this week. Presenting my work on ‘Big AI’—Platforms, Dependency, & Power, at @unibonn.bsky.social tonight (Mon), & Internationale Club La Redoute w/ @silvertje.bsky.social (Tue). 🔗 www.cassis.uni-bonn.de/en/events/up... & intclub-redoute-bonn.de/event/big-ai.... Please come if around!

mass production of labour process studies ruined braverman.

Found my dream collaborator and convinced him to write the book with me. So that's good.

What's that? More pictures of Juno?

With presenters Koray Caliskan, Donald MacKenzie, Addie McGowan and responses by @devikanarayan.bsky.social @kylzjarrett.bsky.social and Gillian Tett discussing a recent paper published last week journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Looking forward to this!

Happy to be leaving New York so I can get alicia keys out of my brain. It's a real affliction.

Just leaving Detroit after a nine day visit. I loved my stay. What a great town.

💬 Announcing our #AAG2025 EGSG Early Career Keynote lecture, 'Untethered: Scalable Computing and the Acceleration of Industrial Change' to be given by Devika Narayan, with @jamiepeck.bsky.social as discussant. Hosted by @econgeog.bsky.social Wednesday 3.26 at 10:10 AM in Detroit!

Has anyone here written about the history of DevOps? I am writing about it at the moment (briefly) and looking for stuff.

I have a paper out! It's about how we tell supply chain histories. It's also about how software work came to be offshored to India. Check it out if you're interested in production networks, economic globalisation, computing history, or conjunctural analysis! academic.oup.com/joeg/advance...

It’s great to see this piece published in Platforms & Society: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... It nicely brings critical platform scholarship into conversation with the lit. on state capitalism and techno-colonialism, through a rich case study set in post-pandemic Greece.

Why is he so cute. I can't.

Only dog pics from now on please mute. This is Juno ❤️

Victorian writing is basically like academic writing except very good??

Anyone working on industry specific studies of cloud-ification? i.e., finance, banking, media, retail etc, etc using cloud platforms and tools?

I'm making a list of book series focused on digital technology, firms, capitalism, pol, economy etc (STS, Econ Geo, Sociology). Any of you good people have suggestions? Getting serious about book plans!

A small starter pack for anyone interested in digital/platform capitalism, with a focus on social sciences (sociology geography, STS, econ etc.). Let me know if you want to be added!

Devika Narayan, one of my favorite contemporary labor scholars, has an excellent new article in the inaugural issue of Platforms and Society on the industrial organization of digital platforms l

Wrote about the four relationships to consider when studying emerging technologies - with Ben Shestakofsky doi.org/10.1177/0021...

@mcforelle.bsky.social and I wrote a paper about #assetization in the automotive sector, forthcoming in Engaging Science, Technology & Society. "Driving into a paywall: The subscriptionization of consumer vehicles." Pre-print here papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Always read Devika

I wrote a thing. It's on the political economy of digital platforms! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

4 jobs at BDFI (where I work) consider applying!

Found a beef among economic geographers from the 1980s that I'm dying to wade into. But I really don't think anyone cares anymore 😂

Got to love how CBT is like, oh you have an irrational thought? Okay. Now try not having it. Better?

the barely-there state of infrastructure in britain is most befuddling. Like, what did you do with all the money you took empire is a scam in so many ways 😂

just glad to be transitioning from being told by reviewers my work is creative (half baked) to being told it's creative (creative).

My attempt at learning a new language really makes me marvel at the fact that I even know one. How amazing is that.

so sorry I'm running late, just facing the demons I've ignored my whole life.

I live in brsitol and my brain will only read "bsky" as Banksy.

For those interested in AI, this is a fantastic primer by @ainowinstitute.bsky.social on the infrastructure needed to make AI work. Think: chips and compute plus the geopolitics, institutions, markets, and politics that make it all happen. ainowinstitute.org/publication/...

I'm kind of into the weird vibe here. everyone is determined to ignore the awkwardness. Like extroverts who have shown up too early for a party :)

Year two in England. When strangers say "cheers" I now say "cheers" but I feel very, very silly.

Hii. Now what?
