This actually is become more and more of a problem, so any hints to handle situations like this are more than welcome.
The problem is that my mentally retarded brother found this out all by himself some 18 months ago, which makes it extremely hard to coach him and be his custodian.

[WayBack] What happens when a huge number of people share a single grocery store loyalty card? – The Old New Thing
An interesting discussion in the comments besides this interesting article observation:
What messes up their data analysis is when two people with different lifestyles swap cards. The system sees that somebody who used to buy yogurt and bulk brewer’s yeast is now buying potato chips and frozen pizzas, and it can’t figure out what is going on.

Hopefully the next few years will finally show what the incremental software development and evolutionary management has been trying to advocate since the late 1950s and 1970s: hierarchies do not work and purpose works better for the vast majority than being in a triangle.
The first slide below is from Thoughtworks who has been doing these changes for several decades now.
Traditional hierarchies are giving way to more open and creative workplace cultures.

That’s the only way to cope with complexity as talent dilutes in growing organisations.

This is what DevOps is all about: [WayBack] jessie frazelle on Twitter: “Hire the people who will automate themselves out of a job, then just keep giving them jobs.”
I had seen the tweet before, but forgot to save it. Jonas Bandi reminded me of it at [WayBack] Weekend Reader: End of Year Edition – reality-loop.
Jessie is doing great work. For instance, she developed and published contained.af, and nobody captured the flag yet: [WayBack] jessie frazelle on Twitter: «A year ago I made contained.af and it’s launched over 128,000 containers & no one has retrieved the flag».
The game runs in a container, gives you console access and has a bunch of questions. Still need to dig deeper in it, as it is a fascinating set-up. If you like to try it:
Wishing you a year where nobody captures your flags (:

My mentally retarded brother got himself the below puzzle below. It’s a tad too much complicate for his IQ of ~50 as his ability for relative time is very very limited, so he cannot make most transitions from “then” to “now.
Imagine how the petrol station might look today. The cars will have changed, the fuel will have increased in price, but what about other things? Imagine the differences, and the similarities, between then and now.This is the scene you have to puzzle.

Luckily, I found Wasgij destiny 17 – YouTube who had the solution image and mailed it to me.
Now my brother can finish his puzzle: he is so exited!
