TECHQUANIMITY

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Techquanimity is the wisdom to balance mindfulness, investigation, joy, tranquility, and concentration despite unexpected technology adversity or ease. It’s the fastest way to elegantly solve problems and temper unrealistic optimism with minimum suffering. The next time you have a problem with your computer, application, or phone, recognize it as a learning opportunity and skip the unnecessary suffering created by flipping your lid.

  • Tech debt refers to decisions made during development that prioritize faster short-term solutions over more optimum long-term cost-effective ones. Manage tech debt through life-long learning and techquanimity.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”—Edward A. Murphy (US Air Force High-Speed Deceleration Engineer)

  • “It’s become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”—Albert Einstein
