When does a restaurant fail?

Imagine a restaurant with many managers to take orders, be at counters, and ensure the right music and entertainment for customers. But let me tell you this same restaurant also has many cooks and they are good. This all seems really good setup bound to succeed.

But this restaurant fails. Why? Because this restaurant does not have a single chef!

Why is Chef important for a restaurant? Following para from soprana.no describes it really well.

The success of a good restaurant highly depends on the staff, but the staff would not get anywhere without a skillful chef. Chef is the star of the restaurant, so it can attract more customers, but if you are unsuccessful with choosing, your business might be ruined. The chef cook is the person, who organizes all the work in the restaurant kitchen, and he is also the link between the owner of the restaurant and the rest of the employees. A chef cook can be compared to the orchestra conductor, and this means that the success of the restaurant highly depends on him.

This chef story has nothing to do with other non-restaurant organizations. Any resemblance is just a co-incidence!

Navigating the JOBS in the times of AI

One of last staturdays I spoke to first-year students on the opening day of their year. Eighteen, most of them. Some had come for computer science, some for the humanities, some for management or commerce or the pure sciences. Bright, a little restless, and all of them carrying the same question without quite saying it: now that AI has shown up, what happens to my career? I want to write down what I told them, because I don't think it's a question only eighteen-year-olds are asking. Why do jobs even exist? Strip everything away and a job is just a problem somebody is paid to solve. People need food, health, a roof, education, safety, someone to talk to. Those needs don't go anywhere, and every one of them is somebody's work. What's easy to miss is that the needs stay put while the way we meet them gets rewritten every couple of generations. Farming gave us a food surplus. The steam engine gave us factories. Electricity, mass production. Computers, the information...

आपण महाराष्ट्राच्या संस्कृतीचे अजूनही खरंच पाईक आहोत कि भरकटलोत ?

महाराष्ट्र दिनाच्या सगळ्यांना शुभेच्छा. तसं ज्याला आज आपण महाराष्ट्र म्हणतो, त्याचा हा आधुनिक जन्म दिवस. महाराष्ट्र कधी पासून अस्तित्वात असेल? म्हणजे इथली संस्कृती, आपण जे वागतो, जगतो, बोलतो, राहतो वगैरे वगैरे. कधी पासून हे सगळं असं असावं? याचं उत्तर आपल्या सारख्या सामान्यांपेक्षा हा ज्या कोणत्या विषयाचा विषय असेल त्या विषयाच्या निष्णातांना जास्त चांगलं माहित असेल. तरी, आपला एक सामान्य माणूस म्हणून या भूमीवर अधिकार आहे आणि त्याच अधिकाराने आपण आपला एक अंदाज लावू शकतो. म्हणजे ज्ञानेश्वर-नामदेव इथे आपल्याला या मराठी राज्याची - महाराष्ट्राची - सुरुवात झाली असावी, असा अंदाज लावता येईल.म्हणजे आजच्या आपल्या मराठी म्हणता येईल अशा संस्कृतीची सुरवात तिथून झाली असं आपण समजू शकतो. किंवा मला जे मांडायचं त्या साठी ते सोयीचं आहे म्हणून समजा हवं तर! पण मीच कशाला वारकरी साहित्यातच संत बहिणाबाईंनी लिहून ठेवलयं - संतकृपा झाली । इमारत फळा आली ॥ १ ॥ ज्ञानदेवें रचिला पाया । उभारिलें देवालया ॥ २ ॥ नामा तयाचा किंकर । तेणें रचिलें तें आवार ॥ ३ ॥ जनार्दन एकनाथ । खांब दिधला भागवत ॥ ४ ॥ तुका झालासे कळस । भजन करा ...
