I've written some new science fiction, Of Trolleys and Crosswalks. I think it's funny and I hope you like it. scottambler.com/trolley-prob.... #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TrolleyProblem

#Data peeps: I recently participated in a panel discussion hosted by @TheDatanista entitled "Data Trust Decoded: Moving Beyond Compliance" at www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSIM.... I think you'll find it interesting.

I’m speaking at #AgileIndia in March on #Data and #Agile topics. This is a great learning event. Hope you can make it.

Last night’s game was Canada’s biggest win against a Russian hockey team since 1972.

Agile India is always a great learning event. How you can make it.

My daughter and I just had a great afternoon at D&D immersive in Mississauga. Afterwards we went out for dragon rolls.

I just published a new white paper, #ArtificialIntelligence and #Agile Software Development: Use Cases for #AI Augmentation at ambysoft.com/essays/artif.... The paper is completely free, I don't even ask for your email address.

I've published some thoughts about the recent acquisition of Agile Alliance by @PMInstitute in Agilists and Project Managers: Examining Their Common Misconceptions www.linkedin.com/pulse/agilis... .

Just got home from a NYC vacation with my family. We had a great time in a wonderful city.

Agile peeps: I have just published the second article, Valid Use Cases for AI-Augmentation in Software Development, in my three-article series on applying AI in agile software development. www.linkedin.com/pulse/applyi...

We're a few days late, but the video is definitely fun to watch. Mercifully, I'm day 11 with data models, so you don't need to suffer through my singing too much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gta2...

A "roadmap" should have multiple ways to get from point A to point B. And multiple points, not just B, that you can get to from point A.

Unless you're capable of competently performing an activity, don't use #AI to augment it because you won't be able to adequately determine whether what the AI has done is sufficiently correct for your context. #ArtificialIntelligence

I just wrote the first of a three-article series about #AI and #agile software development. Would love to hear your thoughts. www.linkedin.com/pulse/applyi...

Yeah… but they don’t ask.

Agile peeps: The call for submissions for #Agile2025 is now open at www.agilealliance.org/agile2025/su... . Help make this a great conference with a great presentation! #Agile

Has anyone looked into the sales stats of drones in NJ and surrounding states for the past 6 months? Just asking.

Artificial intelligence (#AI) is likely to reduce the need for people managers over the long term. I describe why at scottambler.com/ai-reduces-p...

Given the pace of business, to properly support it #data warehousing teams need to adopt continuous ways of working.

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

If history teaches us one thing, it's that the oppressed will eventually rise up against their oppressors.

Whatever happened to the metaverse?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to help people become more #data literate. Any thoughts?

A key factor in the success of corporate #AI is to have access to high-quality #data. This is straightforward for organizations that have adopted a #DV2 data warehousing strategy as #DV2 provides a scalable, auditable, and quality-focused approach.

#Data is the lifeblood of your organization. But there is far more to your organization than just data. Working only with data is like only having the lifeblood, which is basically a crime scene. Consider the full picture if you want to be an effective data professional.

Data peeps: On Dec 18 I will be presenting "Continuous Data Warehousing for Effective #AI" to the #DataVault2 North American User Group (#DVNAUG). Register for free at www.meetup.com/dvnaug/event...

My wife, the lovely Beverley, bought me a (non-magic) mushroom growing kit the other day. I’m growing them in a clear plastic box to keep humidity up. Hope to harvest mid December, and then again in early January.

The #AgileData way of thinking (WoT) is captured as seven philosophies: Look beyond data, collaborate closely, be quality infected, embrace evolution, be enterprise aware, fit-for-purpose, and everyone agile. agiledata.org/essays/philo... #Data

As many others have pointed out, the quality of the discussions, on many levels, is significantly better than what I’ve experienced on X in recent years. Thank you to everyone involved and let’s keep this going.

A #dataquality metaphor that I particularly like is that #data is the new water. Just as people need clean water to survive, enterprises need clean data to survive. agiledata.org/essays/data-...

Look at this!

I just published a short blog explaining my claim that LLMs hallucinate 100% of the time. Would appreciate your thoughts. scottambler.com/llms-always-... #AI #dataquality

Get better quality information into people's hands and you will increase the chance that they will make better decisions. agiledata.org/essays/dataquality.html #AgileData #DataQuality

One of the great things about moving to BlueSky is that I forces me to think about who I want to follow. My interests have changed, yet I never thought to cull my following list on X. I can start fresh and build a new ecosystem.
