Seth Godin leads our day with his post on resilience. Resilience goes with hard work, and can really help your career in the long term. On Laughing Meme, we have an excellent post on technical debt. It takes a slightly different slant on technical debt and I don’t agree with everything, but it is worth reading. On DaedTech, we get an interesting post on creative constraints based on his view of the Amazon Echo. It is an interesting look at the Echo, as well as its comparison to other assisting technologies.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
