“Marty joined Zume at a time that SoftBank led the company into a complex portfolio of advanced methods in tackling food supply chain problems. Faced with complexity, the organization needed lynchpin senior staff to rise above the surface, connect across the org and de-risk customer-facing assumptions. Marty, with his decades of running businesses for himself and seeing clear priorities through operational noise gave multiple projects in the portfolio the direct feedback loop from the customer that they needed. Sometimes one person can de-risk the battlefield before the fateful march; disruptive innovators will find early that they need a Marty.”

On Sourdough and Innovation... Modesty aside, my homemade sourdough breads can be described as the fox’s socks. After some laughably variable outcomes, I’ve arrived at a process to deliver the consistent ambrosial tang and buoyancy that makes the taste buds tango. My initial problem? I was too controlling, micromanaging every step. Too handsy with the dough, too many stretch and folds, over working every step along the way. The chemistry of innovation runs parallel here. Innovation takes root in a culture. It grows when fed. Flourishes when protected. Suffers when over regulated. Too much handling and you’re left with a product, while edible, lacking in potency.

I am extremely impressed by how quickly people who have never coded before can come up with solid, useful local SPA apps when I onboard them to Claude Code. The "Tier 3" of my training program CSC Generation is (previously) non-technical people live-build their first SPA in NextJS, run it locally, and get their own LLM API key. I instituted the pilot 1 month ago. So far just over 5% of the (non-engineering) corporate population at the company has built at least 1 fully functional tool to help them with their workflow, with a success rate of above 80% within 7 days of onboarding. They run the applications on their client, and have an API budget. Many of the apps are quite simple, and hyper-specific to the user. All that their apps have access to, are the same things their client laptops already had. One user, live, in front of the class, in a 1 hour session, finished a novel data normalization app, where the LLM proposed new normalization mappings and presented them to him, as a gamified "Yes/No" using the keys on the keyboard. After the class: added a feature where, once the Accept rate got above significance indicating the LLM could accurately predict at human level, we allows a mass accept. What would have been a labor intensive spreadsheeting exercise on 100's of thousands of items, became a 3 hour project building a game and playing it. Pretty neat example of "Personalized Software"! (PS, please come work with me in a technical or nontechnical capacity if this is the kind of thing you want to do or build enabling tools for)
