Requirements Engineering: Der wichtigste Schlüssel zum Projekterfolg
Statistik: 67 % der Teams überschreiten ihr Budget in den ersten beiden Quartalen. Quelle: Technology Management Journal [2] Argument: „Wir können Budgetüberschreitungen verhindern, wenn wir von Anfang an wissen, was wir bauen.” Erkläre, dass eine Investition in Requirements Engineering keine verlorene Zeit ist.

Updates, Spring 2024
It’s been a busy few months. Last we spoke, I’d just signed with my literary agent after two years of really hard work (it still feels like a big deal!), and together, we’d started revising my first YA space fantasy manuscript. In the time since, we finished polishing that book and have sent it off on submission, which is the process where your agent attempts to sell the book to a publishing company.

You Are (Not) Here: Fantasy Mapmaking for The Spear Cuts Through Water
In my new book, , there will be a map of what is known by the characters as The Old Country, rendered gorgeously by the talented artist and writer Chris Panatier. Printed on the book’s endpapers (essentially the reverse side of the hardcover), the map is a heavily stylized representation of the land in which much of the story takes place. Credit where credit’s due, the germinating idea for this approach was my brother’s, and I thought it was a good one.

Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke and the Labor of Creativity
Be wary of those who fetishize the difficulties of their own creative process. One does not need to shirk the healthy levels of their own emotional and physical well-being to make a work that would add meaning and clarity to the world. The human life is composed of such limited currency. Spend it wisely, and in pursuit of a balance of passions. Take care of yourself. Such is the contemporary wisdom on work ethic; for the most part a good and healthy redirection of cultural norms.

Top Ten Science Fiction Books About Sustainability
When I think of ‘sustainability’ today, my kneejerk mental associations are of bright blue recycling bins and grocery tote bags and cars that plug into sockets. Spam mail from Sierra Club about the slash-and-burn destruction of the forests of Madagascar. An ambient awareness of the world’s decline, and our meager efforts to stop it.
