🔗 How close are we to a vision for 2010?

What strikes me most about the possible futures discussed isn’t their optimism nor their missteps - it’s that most of these things could be possible today if there were sufficient open standards which the public and private sector adopted.

➕

Anyone who has read “The Entrepreneurial State” knows that these things take significant public investment. We’ve reached a point where the private sector has generated wealth from previous public research, but seems unwilling to invest in any long-term research itself. That’s short-changing our future.

Too good - though I think we can provide many more to build out the list.

🔗 Agentic swarms are an org-chart delusion

If you believe the future is agent management, you’ll build tools for orchestrating fleets of specialized bots. You’ll create dashboards for monitoring your marketing agent separately from your sales agent separately from your dev agent. You’ll recreate Salesforce, but for robots.

If you believe the future is unified execution, you’ll build tools that let one person express intent and get outcomes across every domain from a single surface. The interface collapses. The abstraction layers disappear. You don’t manage agents any more than you manage the individual transistors in your laptop.

I need to revisit - I mean she’s talking org charts.

🔗 Careers are jungle gyms, not ladders

Real careers look more like jungle gyms. You climb up, move sideways, drop down, hang upside down for a while, and sometimes jump across to something new entirely. Progress isn’t measured only by elevation, but by agility, strength, and perspective. The value comes from how many dimensions you can move in, not just how high you can go.

💬 Martin Fowler

Not a new message - I have been reading it over and over for a long time - even before ‘AI’.

Why? Because it is really about the increased fractionalisation of work - so that the tech overlords can better harvest human skills in order to codify, automate and ‘remove the human from the loop’.

It’s why when asked what I ‘specialise’ in - I have answered - for years …

I am the space between the boxes on the organisation chart.
