I was going to post about Tim Bray’s anecdote about Oracle and developer mindshare, but I hadn’t figured out exactly what I wanted to say and then Adam beat me to it. And like he says, I’ve been a bit obsessed about the need for a strategy the whole time I’ve had this blog. I’d like to feel like I’m working to make the University a better place, but without the big picture and clear priorities only a strategic vision can provide, how can I know?
