This morning’s coffee companion is a technologist who has spent much of his career in the Civil Service.
We talked about:
- the amorphous nature of friendship in these digital times
- the challenges of managing technology in the public sector
- getting to the end of the road with working in Government
- writing ringtones
- the strange nature of academic institutions
- the even stranger nature of charitable institutions
- how the history of low code solutions for non-programmers is almost as old as the history of computing
- how accessible music technology is these days
This afternoon’s coffee companion is a data person with impeccable taste in podcasts.
We talked about:
- the strange world of recruitment
- the strange world of higher education
- how fees have turned students into consumers (and how I was seeing this back in the mid 1990s at the LSE)
- purpose and learning to not get so embroiled in an organisation
- blue sky thinking versus actually getting stuff done
- cheesemaking
