Some reflections on the current push to use AI to solve the governments efficiency problems.
Love the energy, pretty sure it's solving the wrong problem.

Mikey Dickerson with a super interesting comment on a widely repeated principle in #gcdigital circles: "meet the public servants where they are":
"I can still recite the values: Hire and empower great people. Find the truth, tell the truth. Go where the work is. Design with people, not for them. Optimize results, not optics. And create momentum.
I must still care about these, because I get mad when I think they’ve been forgotten. For example, I heard that for reasons of convenience, we have reinterpreted “go where the work is” to mean “meet the public servants where they are.” But I meant literally. If all the work is happening in some horrific beige office building in Iowa, then you need to go to Iowa. That’s where they’re doing work. You need to see it with your own eyes."

Love this line. The article is about design, but this rings true for privacy, security, compliance, enterprise architecture, governance and so many more
"They have learned the language of strategy without the discomfort of owning outcomes. They can talk about user needs, business goals, systems thinking, and product quality, but struggle when asked to make a call. They want influence, but not the exposure that comes with it."

Breaking up monolithic "cloud" teams has been something I've found myself arguing for lately.
Most of the orgs I've worked for have a "cloud" team, which is actually an IaaS team.
I've tried illustrating the gap between traditional IaaS and modern PaaS/CaaS/FaaS.
The governance, tools, skills and ways of working are all different enough that a single monolithic "cloud" team isn't likely to cover them both.
At the working level: Be a good example of whatever paradigm you're in.
Execs: Please don't put the same people in charge of multiple (largely opposite) paradigms. -
