RE: Why I try to "build something"

!LUV this share. I've been crazy busy and just had a chance to review some content in Synergy Builders community.

The more I learn about you, the more I see commonality. Your not a Capricorn, are you?

I'm going to touch on some points that may help in defining "Quality".

I think we have a similar situation with "content creation". The truth is that none of our content is worth any amount of money, not even a nickel. And I think a lot of people especially on HIVE get some idea that the "quality" of your content makes it "worth" some amount of money or not. It would be healthier, in my estimation, if we all assumed our content was "worthless", and to get a nickel for it, a miracle.

I'm somewhat entertained by this perspective. Sometimes I do approach change with no expectation and I am more often than not, happy with the outcome. I was 15 years old when I realized the value and power of knowing your own worth. If you do not know your own worth, then yeah, the world will define it for you. For the most part, I follow what you are saying if your result oriented and the end goal is more money. And, most people's well being is determined by how well they play "Capitalism".

I am process centric, thus my journey is more valuable then a particular destination. As long as I am having #FUN and the by-product of this enjoyment contributes to a higher disposable income then its a satisfying journey.

The challenge I see, is being able to define and live by quality standards and not just say, assume, believe, etc that quality exist. This is often similar to the value people place on an opinion. If you think an opinion is a right then a standard or anything close to be a fact is actually irrelevant. !LOLZ

"Quality" is what we would call a proxy variable. It proxies something else, and you might proxy a variable in "science" or data analysis with something you can measure more easily. But quality is not measurable, so its a terrible proxy variable for judging content. We should more easily assume all content, in a vacuum, is worth zero. That includes yours, no matter how many hours you spend on it. Externally worthless.

Here you suggest that quality is not measurable. If you can't measure it then I agree, you do not have quality. !PIMP

I am reminded of many blogs I read that are filled with wishful thinking when claims are made about how well a project is going to do in the future. There is real value in data measurement as long as "your measure is measurable". By this, I mean that you must understand every aspect of a system and its supporting processes so that you don't create hype, false hope and waste based on irrelevant data disconnected from realistic goals and objectives. But then, we liver in a #TooFuckeh world filled with chaos and overly hyper-active people who have never heard of being pro-active. That means some success for some who keep repeating quality enough time that it must be high quality.

The act of documenting a process, setting a goal and "telling a story" about achieving it - and possibly connecting with close friends and interested parties in the REAL TIME iterative process that is LIFE. This is the real value, and I have some evidence.

Totally agree, 100% and why I guide myself using a People, Process and Technology (PPT) framework to support Continuous Process Improvement (CPI). Without some form of CPI, you will be challenge to maintain quality deliverables. ie product and/or service

No one searches my blog more than me. I look up my old posts to read or to find/connect/share a point I already wrote about in the past. Its a reference - mainly for MYSELF.

Ah it's great not to be alone.

Thanks again for the grey matter exercise.

May Positive pepEntropy be with you.
