Geez...it took me a week to figure this out!

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Semper Gumby" is the National Guard's informal motto. It means "Always Flexible"...fitting, given the Guard's role in national defense AND as first-responders to natural disasters. Always Flexible. Ready to step in to help wherever, whenever, however. A worthy goal for us all.

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." -- Mark Twain Never assume.

In manufacturing, one of the best sources of "best practices" might well be the study of "what might have happened".

"We live history forward, in the chaos of onrushing events, without a clear guide. But we judge history backward, smugly armed with the knowledge of what did happen and uninterested in what might have happened." -- Historian Robert Kagan

Congratulations to @UnoPlatform for Day 1 support of the new WinUI Preview 4. How DO you do it??? Uno is the most elegant, straightforward, and compelling path to cross-platform and #WinUIEverywhere.

#dotNETConf Question for @jongallant. Desktop apps can't have Managed Identities. How can a store app access KeyVault without storing credential strings in source code or config files?

Okay, @Microsoft, now that the WinForms and #WPF folks are happy with release of #dotNet5, it's time for some love for the #UWP devs. Please don't make us wait a year to catch up with the other kids! #dotNETConf

Feeling sad that #UWP was completely left out of the hoopla surrounding today's release of #dotNet5. #dotNETConf

The new @UnoPlatform 3.2 now supports drag-and-drop??? Mind blown!

Excited to be at #unoconf for the second year. The UNO Platform is without question one of today's most exciting developer technologies. C# and XAML everywhere!

In this time of global uncertainty and turmoil, it's good to remember one of the most powerful questions known to humankind: "How can I help?"

Food for thought... "While ethics are possible in corporate America, they are not likely given how employee performance metrics are set and the practices they encourage from employees." industryweek.com/supply-chain-i…

"Goodhart's law says, 'When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to become a good measure.'" It's always possible to game the system! (But that, too, might be useful.) johndcook.com/blog/2020/01/2…

Given IT departments' traditional resistance toward "shadow IT", manufacturers must first find a way to embrace business-level "citizen programmers" before serious progress can be made toward digital transformation. fierceelectronics.com/electronics/in…

This. "Hungry people stay late not to look good, but because they want to nail it. They make things at your company far more efficient, because they're constantly thinking about what's not working and how they can improve it." inc.com/melanie-curtin…

Interesting article on the "bilingual" workforce...but it's not what you think. It's that rare breed who understand BOTH the business AND the data behind it. Getting existing folks up to speed with data science skills is a great way to make them bilingual! bit.ly/2BnaW3O

Interesting ideas on leadership and continuous improvement from a quite unexpected source... industryweek.com/operations/con…
