X : You talk about leaderless leadership but mapcamp.co.uk has your face all over it?
Me : That'll change shortly. I intend this to be my last Map Camp as a chair, so I'm putting in place structures to allow the community to take over, including a foundation ...
... we have three wonderful co-chairs in @CatSwetel, @coderinheels and @bodamianrapsody ... we have an amazing organising committee ... there will be changes you will see as we get closer to the 13th October.
X : What are you going to do?
Me : I intend to start pulling away from mapping. I've opened up the door enough that others have walked through. There's a growing community ... it's time for me to take a bow, move back to the shadows and find the next thing.
X : Any ideas?
Me : No. But I'll use maps to get there.
X : More than maps?
Me : Mapping covers situational awareness, economic patterns, doctrine and organisational structures, culture and gameplay ... it's a huge field. But like the work I did on cloud (with Ubuntu) or UK Gov (with GDS / Spend Control) ... there's always more ...
.... that's one of the wonders of life, what we know is insignificant to what we don't know and are yet to discover.

I read this and think "Former OpenStack supporter with skin in the game over SDN and Kubernetes ignores Jevons' paradox, constraints on underlying components, serverless and speed effects to make a case for cloud repatriation at scale" - not buying it - a16z.com/2021/05/27/cos…
On Jevons' paradox alone, as I've said for a decade ... AWS will be constrained by the speed it can build data centres i.e. it can't drop prices too quickly because that'll force up demand beyond their ability to supply. Eventually they will overcome. Expect prices to tumble.
Getting a handle on expense however is a great point made in the article which is why serverless, billing per function, capital flow inside applications will become and are becoming such critical practices of the future.

Now (thank you Cummings) we finally understand that the reason why we didn't go the whole lockdown route back in March 20, despite it being overwhelmingly obvious is that a bunch of behavioural scientists thought the British population wouldn't accept it ... you effing muppets ->
Also, now we know that "herd immunity" was the plan ... I wish it hadn't been -
Oh, and that bloody flatten the curve graph ... gosh this is depressing ...

X : Thoughts on nationalising UK rail?
Me : A good thing.
X : Wasn't that part of Labour's manifesto?
Me : Does it matter? Many of the good things this Gov talks about seem to have been lifted from the Labour manifesto. It's not important where it came from, only that it happens.
X : So, you agree with it?
Me : Yes. And the Conservatives timing is impeccable.
X : How so?
Me : A few days after Keir starts talking about a new manifesto not based on the past - theguardian.com/politics/2021/… ...
... it's the perfect time to pinch or accelerate any ideas which you think are good / fit with your own and start declaring you'll take action on it. Rail Nationalisation has just become Tory policy as Labour declared it has abandoned its past manifestos ...

i.e. the traditional are those who believe the future of work is office based and strongly dependent on procedures whilst the next generation are more biased towards remote work and the use of guiding principles ... you will then find ...
... the traditional are far more biased towards learning via in person lectures with experts whereas the next gen are biased towards remote learning with "live" scenarios and gameplay ...
The traditional are far more ouput driven whist the next generation focused on outcome ...

Fabulous, thank you so very much. 1,001 responses to the survey. This is wonderful. Now, to run the tests and find out whether the hypothesis is wrong or right. Before I run the test (it'll take hours to build what I need), I suppose I better say what I am looking for ...
... the hypothesis is that within the sample there are two distinct populations - a traditional and a next generation - along with a majority that are "in between". Due to bias in sampling (i.e. my tweet streams) then the Next Gen is likely to be much more represented ..
... than the Traditional but that's ok, we're are looking for a phenotypic difference in the populations. The reason for cast the net wide is that hopefully we may catch 20+ of both. As I said, the vast majority will be "in between" ...

X : How do you distinguish between a pipeline item on your map vs a component?
Me : A pipeline represents a non exclusive OR ... i.e. this OR that OR that, where you have multiple evolving components of the same "meaning". e.g. power needs Coal OR solar OR wind OR ...
e.g. film content NEEDs Action OR Thriller OR SciFi OR Costume Drama OR ...
e.g. collective NEEDs Family OR Nation OR Football Club OR Church OR Company ...
Normally, the connections on a map represent a logical AND.

Cup of tea NEEDs Cup AND Tea AND Hot Water
Hot Water NEEDs cold water AND kettle
Kettle NEEDs Power
Power NEEDs Solar OR Coal OR Wind OR ...

Hope that helps.
