My Speciality Is Generality


๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ”Ž BusinessBytes | ๐Ÿ”— More

The constant push by ‘Industry’ and as a result - ‘Academia’ to specialize, specialize, specialize has resulted in way too many specialized specialists and very few โ€˜cloud hoppersโ€™.

Cloud Hopping has always been a differentiator.

I like to think of every organization being a magic box.

  • 3 inputs [I] : people, capital and tangible assets
  • 2 outputs [0] : products and services

The rest is just context.

Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:

After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the momentโ€”especially this week!

I donโ€™t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;

  • A hotel room not sold on Monday night canโ€™t be sold Tuesday.
  • John canโ€™t sell this weekโ€™s sponsorship next week.
  • If I donโ€™t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.

Iโ€™ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, Iโ€™m just letting this lie.

๐Ÿ”— You are the center of concentric circles, Mark Dykeman

Itโ€™s another one of those Dunbar posts, the concentric circles are so random that I was reduced to asking ChatGPT ..

“What is the difference between a friend, good friends, best friends and close friends?

A less than satisfactory answer, though it did seem to agree with me (and the author) that a ‘Best Friend’ is closer than a ‘Close Friend’. Other than that? Yeah - no.

And the numbers

  • 5 close/best friends
  • 10 more best / close friends
  • 35 more good friends

Why did he bother writing the piece? Why have I bothered commenting on it?

Not mine, but it was so lovely I wanted to drop it in here, so that as ‘link rot’ continues - I will at least have it here. Who knows, you might already know it, it seems to have been โ€ฆ
