Work Notes #

This section of the site is for quick notes, usually to quickly capture the details of something I have found useful at work.

The original motivation was to experiment with what the Government Digital Service call Make things Open: it makes things better.

The main benefit to me of splitting this from the main blog area is that it helps kill writer’s block :-)

The Agility Gap

Some quick notes on “The Strategic Agility Gap” by David Woods1 Summary The growth of new technologies and new levels of has led to new organisational capabilities. With these new capabilities has come greater levels of complexity and inter-dependence, which in turn lead to unpredicted and unpredictable areas of brittleness / lack of resilience. Combine these factors with an increasingly complex world and there can be unpredicted failures and outages. Examples include the impact of ransomware such as Wannacry.

Antora Local Authoring

Writing content for your Antora site In the note about publishing I described how the final published site gets built. However in reality you will want to preview your work locally before you push to the published site. Antora supports an author mode of working where it builds a site based on local clone(s) of the content project(s) (as opposed to fetching a specified branch or tag from the published repository/repositories at build time.
