#BreakThings
chop from the top
chop from the breakthings to failupward admin class
“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.
The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.

Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

telling my hungry children, Movefast (8) and Breakthings (10), that while kids in Weimar used to build forts out of stacks of worthless Reichsmarks, the beauty of Bitcoin consists precisely in its digital immateriality

Built the enclosure doors today. Learned that polycarbonate can shatter on a table saw. Check your teeth for death cookies before every cut.

Liz Truss is so counter-revolutionary she hasn't even started her own show yet.
Because that's exactly what the blob expects.

Jean-Luc Picard: Brilliant mind, but ultimately a product of a stagnant system. The Federation's utopian idealism stifled true progress. We need more disruptors, less consensus. #BreakThings #BuildTheFuture

it's a surprise to no one that "that one synth that everyone uses for everything" does things well, but I am nonetheless impressed by how fast & easy serum is for making big sub bass lines that sit well with all my tikkytakky beatbangy breakthings - and monstercats have yet to take over my house...

Almost all replies to this are equally split between the qoob being used for wanking, fucking, or pissing. I'm sure some enterprising individual will combine all three, which is the kind of disruption tech strives for. #movefast #breakthings #jizzorpeeonstuff

An industry based on “move fast and breakthings” said what?
And we said “yeah, cool, and make it wearable”.

Friendgineers: Move fast and break things sounds like the opposite of Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast, but what it they're opposite sides of the same thing?

Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast
Sometimes you have to accept two contradictory things as true. But what if they're not as contradictory as you think? What if it's just your perspective that?

Bureaucracy isn't just inefficient; it's a spiritual blight, crushing the human drive to build & create. Don't ask for permission. Don't negotiate with mediocrity. Build the future you want, outside the systems designed to contain you. #BreakThings #Innovation
