If you are useful, it doesn’t mean you are valued
The difference can be subtle
Being useful means that you are good at getting things done in a specific area, so that people above you can delegate that completely
the fewer headaches you create for your leadership chain, the bigger the rewards.
Being valued, on the other hand, means that you are brought into more conversations, not just to execute, but to help shape the direction

Melodic doomsters LA CERVA unveil their first self-titled effort. The EP consists in three tunes.
Hailing from Turin (Italy), the line-up features Daniele Porfido - of Dismal fame - and shows the qualities of a songwriting dark and pensive, but always focused on melody. Through the somber atmospheres the listener can also recognize some touches of contemporary black metal and classic melodeath. La Cerva is already currently working on a full album to be released during 2026 and setting up their live campaign for selected events.

How Software Groups Rot: Legacy of the Expert Beginner
Expert Beginner Recap In my last post I introduced the term “Expert Beginner” to describe someone who has capped out in their learning at some sort of local maximum, convinced that the local is global. Expert Beginners are developers who do not understand enough of the big picture to understand that they aren’t actually experts. […]
Batch of Trouble
Ben had already been with the University for a few years when Dave joined the team. At some point during the interview process, Dave reached the conclusion that he was here to modernize the team. As a result, he started on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday was telling everyone how he would do their job.
Dave strutted from desk to desk, playacting the highly-paid consultant. In reality, he was here to take over the student enrollment system from Ben. Ben had inherited it from Carl, who had inherited it from Bob. A whole chapter of begats was required to trace the roots of the system. It was mostly implemented in simple batch scripts, and it mostly was driven by simple text or CSV files. It wasn't a terribly pretty system, but it did have a few very important features:
It worked.
It didn't require much maintenance.
It was thoroughly documented and well understood by the support team.

How Developers Stop Learning: Rise of the Expert Beginner
In this post, I describe the phenomenon of the so-called expert beginner -- someone with mediocre skill who thinks he's an expert.
With no patience for learning that, I discovered I could do a pretty good job faking it by putting no fingers and thumbs in the ball and kind of twisting my elbow and chucking the ball down the lane.
There’s nothing you can do to improve as long as you keep bowling like that. You’ve maxed out. If you want to get better, you’re going to have to learn to bowl properly.
The model lists five phases of skill acquisition:
Novice
Advanced Beginner
Competent
Proficient
Expert
skill acquirers move from “dogmatic following of rules and lack of big picture” to “intuitive transcending of rules and complete understanding of big picture.”
After a relatively short phase of being a complete initiate, however, one reaches a point where the skill acquisition becomes possible as a solo activity via practice, and the renewed and invigorated acquirer begins to improve quite rapidly as he or she picks “low hanging fruit.”
The Advanced Beginner stage is the last one in which the skill acquirer has no understanding of the big picture.
As such, it’s the last phase in which the acquirer might confuse himself with an Expert
if I don’t understand it, it must be easy
I go from my optimistic self-assessment to a logical fallacy as my bowling career continues: “I know that I’m doing it right because, as an expert, I’m pretty much doing everything right by definition.”
ten years of experience or the same year of experience ten times,”
It’s during the full lifetime of a project that a developer gains experience writing code, source controlling it, modifying it, testing it, and living with previous design and architecture decisions during maintenance phases
L'esperienza nel software si matura con la gestione del progetto sul mantenimento annuale
They’ve officially become Expert Beginners, and they’re ready to entrench themselves into some niche in an organization and collect a huge paycheck because no one around them, including them, realizes that they can do a lot better.

Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT News explores the environmental and sustainability implications of generative AI technologies and applications.
The computational power required to train generative AI models that often have billions of parameters, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, can demand a staggering amount of electricity, which leads to increased carbon dioxide emissions and pressures on the electric grid
Furthermore, deploying these models in real-world applications, enabling millions to use generative AI in their daily lives, and then fine-tuning the models to improve their performance draws large amounts of energy long after a model has been developed.
