Culture eats strategy for breakfast, leadership eats culture for lunch.

This paper is a fascinating read, if you like mathematics and physics. It proposes a law describing the evolution of the information entropy of an isolated system, analog to the second law of thermodynamics. Then it considers the applicability of this law to topics as diverse as electronic states in an atom (Hund's rule), cosmology, symmetries found in nature, and DNA/RNA sequences.

I don't think this paper has been peer reviewed yet, but still a fun read and excited idea!

Bun: lessons from disrupting a tech ecosystem

Large incumbent companies often struggle with innovation. There are many well-known examples of tech companies with a great track record of innovation. They can be a source of inspiration for non-tech companies trying to be more innovative. I’ve been looking at them and writing an “innovation checklist” of best practices they have in common.

What innovative tech companies do that others don't

One doesn’t transform a game engine into a “growth engine” by just increasing their price.

Wondering how long it will take for Unity’s shareholders to understand the stupidity of the company’s recent “strategic” decision.
