Dunking on Oracle is one of my favorite pastimes, but this takes it to a whole new level. Java, MySQL, Solaris, SPARC, and so many other acquisitions they've Oracle-ified would like a word. Can't wait for Ellison's next keynote "explaining" all this...

I wonder how long this wiki will last before Google kills it? Then again, I still haven't forgiven Google for the untimely demise of #GoogleWave. devops.com/google-code-...

One of the Mac’s most popular productivity apps is incorporating generative artificial intelligence in a way that keeps it offline, private, and customizable. www.wired.com/story/ai-fea...

Ingram Micro Exec Calls On Partners To Rethink AI Strategy: ‘It’s About How You Apply AI, Not Just Where’ url:https://www.crn.com/news/channel-news/2025/ingram-micro-exec-calls-on-partners-to-rethink-ai-strategy-it-s-about-how-you-apply-ai-not-just-where

Thought leadership ≠ reposting Gartner quadrants with sassy captions. Interview an SRE, surface a data point, or leave the quadrant on SlideShare. #ContentSnark

Content reviewers who randomly add & delete Oxford commas aren’t editors—they’re punctuation vandals. If your pass doubles my Grammarly alerts, you owe me coffee and therapy. #WriterLife #ContentOps

Another “no code” platform needing five YAMLs, six CLI flags, and the blood of a senior SRE. Congrats—you invented Yes-Code-But-Secretly. Stop gaslighting PMs with drag-and-drop fairy tales. #DevOops #KubernetesKarma

Enablement tools can’t fix broken processes. Automating chaos just scales the mess. #SalesEnablement #RevOps #ContentOps

The biggest enablement myth? That more content equals more confidence. The truth: fewer, better-maintained assets close deals faster. #ContentOps #SalesStrategy #Enablement

One deck. One sheet. One case per segment. Simplicity scales; clutter stalls. #GoToMarket #SalesEnablement #OperationalDesign

Treat sales content like code: version it, test it, delete the obsolete. Governance beats glamour decks every time. #DevOpsMindset #ContentOps #Enablement

Stop calling it enablement if it makes sales scroll harder. Measure friction, not file count. #SalesEnablement #ContentStrategy #RevOps

Enablement that measures downloads instead of outcomes isn’t enablement—it’s storage. Start tracking time to content instead. #SalesOps #ContentOps #Performance

Sales enablement isn’t a content problem—it’s an overproduction problem. If reps can’t find it, it doesn’t enable. Audit, archive, and measure impact—not volume. #ContentOps #SalesEnablement #GoToMarket

When execs hand AI “governance” to HR, it’s not empowerment — it’s offloading. A politically safe place to bury accountability. ⬇️ #AI #HR #EnterpriseCulture

I expect way more headlines like this in the next year... techcrunch.com/2025/10/30/t...

If your enablement portal feels like a digital landfill, it’s time for a cleanup sprint. Less clutter = faster deals. #ContentOps #SalesEnablement #Efficiency

EY exposes 4TB+ SQL database to open internet for who knows how long

I remember being at the #Wegmans across from their old Dulles HQ, seeing the employees remove all the lunch specials targeting AOL employees from a chalkboard and thinking it was another sign of their end as a company. techcrunch.com/2025/10/29/b...

Every new “enablement initiative” adds slides, not speed. The best programs don’t publish more—they delete more. #Enablement #OperationalExcellence #ContentStrategy

(1/5) Everyone’s saying HR should lead AI transformation. Sounds safe. Feels inclusive. But safety isn’t strategy — and inclusion isn’t implementation. ⬇️ #AI #HRTech #Leadership

“Candidate scored 43.2 on communication. Reject.” That’s not progress. That’s cowardice with a clean interface. #AI #HRTech #Automation #Workplace #DataEthics

AI interviewers reward fluency over thought. It’s not objectivity — it’s performative analytics. The algorithm isn’t listening. It’s profiling. #AI #Recruiting #TechCritique #Automation #Work

Microsoft puts Office Online Server on the chopping block

We’ve automated confidence theater and called it meritocracy. If you sound like a TED Talk, you’re hired. If you think out loud, you’re flagged. #AI #Hiring #FutureOfWork #HR #CorporateCulture

AI interviewers don’t remove bias. They just standardize it — at scale, with better UX. #AI #HRTech #Bias #MachineLearning #WorkplaceCulture

So with the latest AWS outage behind us, the mad rush to go 'back on premise' discussion has already started. I am neither for nor against, depends on the business case but... (1/2)

I’ve taken four AI job interviews. Only one could hold a conversation. The rest rewarded lighting, not logic. #AI #Hiring #TechEthics #Automation #FutureOfWork

The real problem? The game rewards optics over experience. Until that flips, interviews stay theatre. #careeradvice #hiring #futureofwork

Even if you ace it, working for someone with less lived experience rarely ends well. That's not mentorship—it's inertia. #leadershipfail #midcareer #careerrealities

If your AI adoption plan is “run a training session,” congrats—you’ve built a theater program, not a strategy. #AI #TechLeadership #WorkplaceInnovation

Your AI trainer can nail a workshop. Cool. Can they fix a data mess or ship a prototype? Didn’t think so. #AI #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseTech

Misaligned authority: when someone with less depth but more process control decides your "fit." #interviews #career #workplace

Hiring used to build capability. Now it’s a mix of idea extraction, process theater, and risk aversion. Here’s a 10-part thread on what’s really broken—and how we can fix it.👇 #HiringCulture #Leadership #FutureOfWork
