 🏎️ (Another) Great piece by Luca Rossi  on AI, this time about AI governance. At the beginning Luca mentions brakes, which immediately reminds of a great quote I got from Matthew Skelton : why do cars have brakes? to go faster! Almost counterintuitive at first, but when you think about it, cars can only go as fast as their stopping power allows. It's a balance, really. High performing teams know it, that to go fast you need more "brakes": linters, sast, coding guidelines, reviews, documentation, tests of all kinds and assorted automation. Beautiful piece, highly recommended: https://refactoring.fm/p/getting-started-with-ai-governance

Great trick I just learned from Aviv Ben-Yosef : as the saying goes "a rudder only works when you're moving", Ben-Yosef suggests ditching the search for a "perfect" solution that usually leads to paralysis and instead fully embracing the concept of "experimenting". By framing changes as time-boxed experiments, I can protect egos and at the same time create the safety for my team to speak up while we test our educated guesses. This iterative approach helps us embrace uncertainty and move forward without letting the fear of commitment freeze our progress. Just when I needed it!
