What started as a post trying to articulate my recent thoughts, and make sense for myself how I want to grow, turned into a “2017 goal making” post. That wasn’t the intention, but I will go with it. I was going to title it, in The Age of Missed Opportunities. I changed it to what you […]
Millennials, Maturity, and Jeremy Stoppleman who got caught in the middle
By now, I imagine most people have heard of the story about Talia who was supposedly fired for writing a nasty article about her boss. The full article is here. Side note on the whole thing.

This morning I woke up to an email from my boss, Sam Michelson. In it, was the attachment with his knowledge graph result.
