Book cover for Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations
“Do change management boards actually improve delivery performance?” (Spoiler alert: they do not; they are negatively correlated with tempo and stability.)
Darrin Snider

Ray Kurzweil
“But the big feature of human-level intelligence is not what it does when it works but what it does when it’s stuck. —MARVIN MINSKY”
Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

Chuck Klosterman
“Necessity used to be the mother of invention, but then we ran out of things that were necessary. The postmodern mother of invention is desire; we don’t really “need” anything new, so we only create what we want.”
Chuck Klosterman, I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling With Villains

Zoltan Istvan
“Anything that uses unbroken, infallible logic will, by its nature, attain pure evil.”
Zoltan Istvan, The Transhumanist Wager

Ray Kurzweil
“Increasing complexity” on its own is not, however, the ultimate goal or end-product of these evolutionary processes. Evolution results in better answers, not necessarily more complicated ones. Sometimes a superior solution is a simpler one.”
Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

Zoltan Istvan
“Give every sane and rational person a big red button to push to achieve instantaneous omnipotence, and all of them would quickly jam their fingers down on it.”
Zoltan Istvan, The Transhumanist Wager
