From here to there and back again
summary
Introduces a practical method for strategic maps that use anchor position movement to expose evolution, shows a server-racking fix that cancels a multimillion robotics project, and cites a mapping-led UK programme that saves about £425M and an HS2 virtual-model approach that delivers under budget; explains cloud to serverless to AI co-evolution, describes vibe coding experiments (450 hours) and a legacy translation solved in four weeks by building a contextual tool, and argues testing as engineering while coding remains craft.
