Cost of living (if living includes such discretionary(??) items as fresh roasted coffee bean) increases have actually been a tiny win, coffee now costs so much that my 1kg bag every 4 weeks now qualifies for free shipping... #firstWorldProblems

It is interesting how SAP at SAPPHIRE is pushing global uncertainty as a reason to buy and implement SAP as an integrated suite. Would be interesting to break that down because I wonder if it will drive their product investment.

I do love that the CEO of SAP wearing a "bomber jacket" on the SAP Sapphire main keynote. Do you think I can final stop with the suit wearing for work? lesdeux.com/products/com... looks like a nice jacket either way.

So SAP enabling Joule via WalkMe. Gotta say... "Called it!" And to all those SAP people who I spoke to in last few weeks who refused to confirm/deny, well done on not spilling the beans.

Some savagely articulated truths, if you're in SAP tech space, a must read.

Loving that I had a client meeting today and @hardingmatt.bsky.social is on the client side and we basically agreed to continue the conversation about some #SAP #SuccessFactors so the whole world could share in his frustration with me 😜

I can totally associate with Anjali's description of feeling like leaning into a shouting match where nothing you do matters, but also know that it is possible to bring change, we have to use #activeHope even in face of seeming inaction of the gov www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Last minute Christmas gift idea... A frying pan that works on my in-laws wonderful induction hotplate. Will make cooking these blinis an awful lot easier! Happy Christmas everyone!

You can imagine how the meeting where they chose the go-live date for this change went... Oh dear, complete lack of customer focus. www.news.com.au/finance/busi...

A little light reading for those of you who enjoy developers getting frustrated and eventually figuring things out - and If you play with #SAP #SuccessFactors it might even be useful! www.wombling.com/hr/linking-t... Just posted to my blog

So dilemma... (Definitely a 3rd world problem) It is 6am, about to board flight (MEL->SYD), will not get a chance to get a coffee before 1pm. Do I coffee now? Or try to sleep on flight? Last week went for sleep and did emails and online shopping all flight.

Top tip learnt from attending #SAUG-x conference today. You don't need to be in the first 5 minutes of any presentation as they all cover exactly the same info on SAP's posturing on AI. Or perhaps that was just the sessions I attended. But wow that was a lot of #AI in one day!

Have to say, I'm loving Bluesky, in the day since I joined, have lamented about FOMO of a tech conference and discussed sous vide pork belly. I feel like 10 years ago. Optimistic and ready to help the world be better. Thank you all!
