Wenn die Reibung verschwindet
Es gibt ein Versprechen, das sich durch die digitale Moderne zieht wie ein roter Faden: das Versprechen der Reibungslosigkeit. Frictionless Design – so nennen UX-Designer jene Gestaltungsphilosophie, die alle Hindernisse zwischen Nutzer und Ziel beseitigen will. Kein Nachdenken, kein Zögern, keine Unterbrechung. Die perfekte App lässt uns vergessen, dass wir […]

Startups love to say they ‘use AI to eliminate friction,’ but most of them just added a chatbot that makes you log in before telling you it doesn’t have access to your account. #frictionless #AI 🚪🤖

“If you are the fastest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

The 1987 editorial "Tomorrow's Company Won't Have Walls" stands as one of the most accurate corporate prophecies of the modern era.
And it had a profound impact on my life.
It's probably fair to say that if I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have stepped out on my own to start my own company, chase my own career, do my own thing - and become a global freelancer, a nomadic worker, a lone wolf, long before the trend became real and the idea fashionable. Like I've said - I haven't had a job for 35 years, and I work really hard to not have to get a job!
It's worth reading, because it predicted with precision the modern organization of today.
Think about where we are now: many organizations don't define themselves by the depth of their staff - they do so by the reach of their skills network.
But in 2026 and beyond, the sophisticated reach of a networked organization is not enough.
It's no longer about the reach of your skills network, but also the speed with which they operate.
If they aren't as fast as you, it will slow you down even further, stunt your progress, and ruin your ability to align with exponential trends.
That's why, in 2026 and beyond, you have to stop letting slow partners kill your speed.
The Issue of Network Velocity
We are on Day 20. We have built your internal engine: You have the Unapologetic Uniqueness (Day 17), an Antifragile Mindset (Day 18), and Optionality Architecture (Day 19).
Do those things, and you are getting ready for our exponential world.
But as they say, "but wait, there's more!" Now, we must look outside.
You can have a Ferrari engine (your mindset), but if you are driving in a convoy of tractors (your partners), you are going to move at the speed of a tractor!
And here's the thing about what this means to the networked organization, and perhaps your role in it as a freelancer: in a linear world, we picked partners based on stability, history, and comfort. We stuck with the vendor we’d used for 20 years because "they know us."
In an exponential world, loyalty to the past is a guarantee for failure. If your supply chain, your technology vendors, or your peer group are evolving linearly while the market accelerates exponentially, they aren't just slowing you down.
They are anchors.
This means that another discipline you must master going forward is Network Velocity.
Learn why.

#Frictionless: "And in the end it feels like that is the narrative promise of “#AI”: To never ever have to be touched by anyone. Not people you right now might need to employ to keep your business running. Not your neighbours who might want to remove cars from the streets when you want to park in front of your house just to get in their quicker. Not the environment itself that keeps showing you the consequences of your actions as a member of this species. Nothing."

(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found.

Time is becoming the scarcest resource. Business models built around time efficiency, anticipatory delivery, and frictionless transactions create premium opportunities in virtually every sector.
Let's call it The Time Economy: Navigating the Disruptive Rise of Temporal Commerce. The full PDF report is right here.
https://pdf.jimcarroll.com/Megatrend19-TimeEconomy.pdf
Consider this reality: In the 21st-century economy, a profound shift is underway. For decades, capital and then information were the most prized and contested resources. Today, a new asset has emerged as the ultimate measure of value: time.
The finite, non-renewable, and constantly depleting nature of time for every individual and organization is elevating it to the status of the scarcest resource. And from this fundamental scarcity, a new economic paradigm is materializing: temporal commerce (or time-based commerce).
What's behind it? There are several key ideas at work:
Frictionless Ecosystems. The elimination of transactional pauses through technologies like seamless digital payments, biometric authentication, and integrated ‘super-apps’ drastically reduces the cognitive and temporal cost of purchasing.
Anticipatory Logistics. The shift from a reactive to a proactive supply chain, using predictive analytics and AI to forecast demand and pre-position goods closer to the consumer, collapsing delivery times from days to minutes.
Autonomous Execution. The deployment of robotic systems—including aerial drones and ground vehicles—to execute the final leg of the supply chain with a speed and efficiency unattainable by human labor.
This trend often seems crazy to most people, but keep in mind that Amazon, as expected, is at the forefront of these trends and innovates at a furious pace. We already have much of the technology, have become used to the idea of a change in how we shop - and are now seeing the arrival of a lot of bold ideas.

IPT version 3 is out!
Now with support for new and emerging #Frictionless Data Packages, like the Camera Trap Data Package (#Camtrap DP) while retaining full support for current standards.
https://www.gbif.org/news/3b0zVJSYPpzuFQ83F8v13q/gbif-releases-ipt-version-3
📦💡 What makes a standard successful? How to coordinate a major standard update? Learn from Sara Petti about the journey of updating #Frictionless specs to v2. This is a recording of her talk at @fosdem 2024.
https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3109-updating-open-data-standards/
Thanks to the generous support of @NGIZero 🙏🏾, we have kickstarted the #Frictionless specifications update.
Together with a community working group, we are aiming to release the v2 of the Frictionless specs as a finished product by June 2024.
I know vscode is very easy to use, but this is definitely worth reading:

It's the old "embrace, extend, extinguish". Try open-source alternatives like my emacs-groundup, or vim or what have you.
Programming is not meant to be a 'frictionless' experience. Nothing is. Stop buying into this consumer-centric bullshit.

How can we create frictionless experiences and procesess?
Thinking about the customer and experiencing it first hand is a good start.

The library primarily consumes snapshots of FERC's data that we periodically archive on #Zenodo as @okfn #Frictionless data packages. - These archives contain both the old VisualFoxPro DBF files and the new XBRL data. Nearly 30 years of FERC Form 1:
Few things beat joyfully descending a mountain you've just climbed. Because of the work done to set it up, it's one of the sweetest feelings.
Luz Ardiden is an "HC" (above categorization) climb sometimes tackled in the Tour de France route. Because of its many hairpin curves, some call it the Alpe d'Huez of the Pyrenees.
The music is MLC's cover of Jackie Wilson's "The Sweetest Feeling".

I'm very pleased this chapter is now available (paywall unfortunately - let me know if you'd like a copy!). It's my pet project, where I analysed the #discourse enacted through #edtech.
One idea: App #aesthetics address students as users who expect learning to be smooth and #frictionless. (Perhaps the opposite of how educational theorists and practitioners imagine learning to occur!) And I wonder what the implications are for society.

The #CentreForBiodiversityGenomics / International Barcode of Life Consortium (#iBOL) / #BOLDSystems is now releasing weekly #Frictionless data packages (tab-delimited) of all public #DnaBarcode data:
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/datapackages
This may be more convenient than the old download formats, but it's 1.0 GB zipped / 10 GB unzipped.
The packages lack image URLs and taxon ids, which I need, but I plan to change https://bold-au.hobern.net/ to use them if this gets fixed.
