Career paths vs Career portfolios
I've never been a career path person. I do follow paths, but for a variety of roles I'm interested in. Or roles I have to hold as an entrepreneur. I've discovered over the last few years that I'm not alone in this and I'm now exploring this space more. Curious if anyone else recognizes this and has any suggestions for knowledge and best practices to look at. The portfolio approach is what lead me to transition from learning journeys with a previous venture Patica, to the roles approach I'm following with Tribre. Here is a first go at capturing my thoughts about career portfolios versus career paths, or even worst career ladders: tribre.com/career-portfolio

Yes, a growing role can include earning, but it's also possible that you pay for holding that role, like when you work with a personal trainer to learn tennis. It's all fluid and dynamic. And yes, I love spider graphs. Linear thinking/planning makes things simple, but it's never what reality looks like. Roles are also dynamic in the way that a role can be active this week, but passive the next week or even month.

Measuring recognition? IT'S A TRAP, don't you think?
Stop the obsession with measurability: Why the new Workday & Achievers partnership is (potentially) dangerous. 🚩 šŸ—žļø Latest news from the world of HR tech: Workday and Achievers have just launched their joint AI solution. (https://newsroom.workday.com/2026-04-16-Workday-and-Achievers-Launch-AI-Powered-Recognition-and-Rewards-Solution-to-Boost-Employee-Engagement-and-Retention) The promise: Recognition will finally become a ā€˜measurable performance signal’. What sounds like progress for data-driven leadership is, in reality, a frontal assault on genuine corporate culture. We are knowingly walking into a trap that was described 50 years ago: Goodhart’s Law. ↳ As soon as a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric. The problem with the new ā€˜recognition engine’: When we cram praise into dashboards and track it as a KPI, managers are no longer optimising their appreciation, but their click-through rates. Recognition loses all its signal value when it becomes a digital formality. We are selling correlation as causation. Just because productive people are praised more often, productivity does not increase simply by indiscriminately hammering ā€˜recognition transactions’ into a tool. On the contrary: we are creating a system of performed compliance, in which what really counts (mentoring, quiet support, deep reflection) remains invisible because AI cannot capture it in real time. We must stop believing that we can ā€˜fix’ culture by buying a SaaS module. True recognition is a social ritual, not a measurable transaction.

I absolutely agree and applying gamification to solve enterprise problems often showed me that "culture" was so thin and/or lacking, that they had to create solutions instead of stepping back and figuring out if they could undo the things that resulted in those problems. Trying to measure things always risks the creation of some kind of pointification. A parent wouldn't want to keep track of the good things their kid did. It risks falling into a lot of bad gamification traps. I know you have spoken about this plenty of times @Roman Rackwitz and I'm approaching design in the same way: how do we move individuals and teams back to intrinsic motivation (if possible). This often requires the designer to believe in the unmeasurable things, like culture > social rituals.
Quick pulse check
When you think about human development and personal growth, where does your attention go first? Not where it should go. Where it actually goes. Choose the option that feels most natural to you. There is no correct answer here. This is about orientation, not quality. If you want, add one sentence in the comments explaining why you chose what you chose. No justifications needed. I am curious where this community actually stands.

The situation defines the context and scopes the energy and motivation. Each (personal) development requires practice and the ability to get feedback loops. + Contraints also help me focus, narrowing the context. + Consequences show me what my super powers enable me to do + Context is everything: it helps shape the why, the how, the what + "Choices under pressure" doesn't match how I look at the scope of option 4. The context (situation) shapes the performance need and practice opportunities, this connects to the story and the self, where with self, I don't look at me, but the roles I have and why holding them and growing in them is valuable. A personal journey is being a good dad. Books can be written about how to be the best dad, but my daughter and her situation defines how I can be a better dad for her.
Quick question?
I know that some of you created specific ai bots and/or agents. Do you work off grid or you chose the most known LLMs? and if you choose LLM's, what you created and the data belongs to them right? pros and cons?

I would love to run LLMs locally, but it requires an investment of both time and money. I mostly use OpenAI APIs for the projects I'm working on. Once these go into production, I might consider switching to other models and even run a model in a private cloud. I'm not to worried about. I do pay for all the tools I use. So I'm not using any free accounts.

@Roman Rackwitz I've started moving more into the Google Gemini space: Gemini itself, with Nano Banana :D, but also AI Studio, Antigravity, NotebookLM etc.
Where else (apart from gamification) do you have interests?
Gamification was my personal starting point into the vast world of behavioral economics. I later gained a better understanding of many aspects of gamification after delving deeper into behavioral economics and behavioral psychology as a whole. Evolutionary biology and neuroscience have also shaped my view of gamification. What other topics interest you in this context, but outside the traditional industry of gamification?

@Roman Rackwitz sounds great. Zooming in is always possible and needed. My mind just needs context, hence I zoom out šŸ¤—. I’m also working on a health related app (pain tracker for people undergoing cancer/chemo treatment), so curious to learn more about the health context of @Albert Justin Zeh bekono .

@Albert Justin Zeh bekono we are working with both patients and pain doctors (algologists) on this project. It’s supposed to give patients more confidence and improve the information gathering for the doctors.
