It's always a delight to discover something new about oneself! Recently discovered that my trusty coffee weighing scale of many years is actually Scandinavian! This old flea market find from years ago is in fact a Mått-vågen Gullan, a classic mid century retro Swedish kitchen tool from the 50s.

In Denmark, the cats have already read the herding guidelines. A fascinating read. In Danish universities at least, compliance is presupposed rather than won through persuasion. No comment on whether I infer CBS is in the Danish sample :)

A beautifully presented article, and the story of many organizations: the 'lower decks,' through sheer determination, absorb the incompetence and/or malfeasance at the top. The top takes the credit or dodges blame. If only our institutions didn't reward mismanagement so reliably. 1/2

Good but flawed set of alternatives; they often exist in isolation, without a broader ecosystem of tech, teachers, & habits. A fine start to diversifying your digital footprint. The more emancipatory move is away from Big Tech, toward a blend of open source/community-maintained tools.

Much of what we do in organizations is discretionary and relational, and never makes it into formal digital traces. When we try to automate the version of the organization we know from the traces, we miss an invisible glue, perceived only in its absence.

A small milestone: I just accepted my 10th journal review of the year (not counting 14 conference reviews) Peer review is one of the pleasures of the job. It is also my one indulgence in paper: I print every manuscript, and choosing the fountain pen and ink for it has become a small ritual. 1/3

Using an LLM-based app to do qualitative research is like using an RPG when you needed a scalpel. Its imprecise, and an unconscionable waste. For sampling, processing, summarizing, or surfacing themes, there are ALWAYS computationally lighter approaches than using a RAM guzzling behemoth.

Reflecting on recent experience with public sector bureaucrats and my latest field study: Discretion is anathema to automation, even the fancy “AI” version. In other words, situated judgement is very costly to encode. Safe: People who can productively bend the rules, and be recognized for it.
