#BlogElul Day 9: See

Posted on August 24, 2015August 21, 2015 by Leon

Unlike “know” (which I wrote about earlier), “see” is powerful in the IT context all on it’s own.

“Let’s see” expresses open-ness to the truth that our data shows

“We’ll see” is a way of showing both patience as well as a healthy skepticism that ensures our own biases aren’t affecting our understanding of a particular result.

There’s an old saying that when someone says “but”, they are going to contradict whatever they just stated. “That’s a great idea, but (it’s really not)”; “I would love to help you, but (I really don’t want to)”, etc.

In the same way that “But” is a linguistic flag to the listener for contradiction, “See” can be the word that indicates an openness to innovation, to testing, to change.

Listen for it, and act accordingly.

Show Your Support

Let me clear: I don't want ANYONE paying if they don't want to, or if money is tight. I do this because it makes me happy to help. At the same time, some folks have asked how they can show appreciation. So here are some options if you are so moved.

  • Make a donation to my synagogue
  • Make a donation to the cause of your choice, and just mention me in your donation note.
  • Schedule yourself to donate blood.
  • Buy me Kofi
