Blog review 2020

Sometime during March this year I moved my website and blog to Ghost platform, as I wanted to focus more on writing, and less on tweaking the website.

I started blogging in 2016, primarily as a way to improve my writing. Since then I've published 185 blog posts, and 126—nearly 70%—were written this year.

My schedule is simple: every Tuesday I publish the weekly Bruno Unfiltered™ newsletter, and every Monday and Thursday I publish a blog post. There was no special logic behind these specific days, except that I wanted to begin with three days.

Now I'm thinking about publishing five days a week!

Looking back, it's fun to compare posts that I like the most with those that received the most views.

Quality Philosophers

Deming, Juran, Ishikawa, and Crosby changed the world of quality management forever. These are their most significant contributions.

This was a surprising one! Originally, it was a chapter in my 2012 specialisation project in quality and production engineering, which I then took our, updated, and published in 2016. My guess is that most views are from students.

Breakthrough innovation happens more often within a culture that fosters everyday innovation.

Create the future

The old adage offence is best defence might be true to some extent, but is too black and white for my taste.
