Mogic considers

We can only hope for their bottom line.

Perhaps it is the nature of the season, but I am often consulted by former interns and working alumni.

I've been assigned to a department, but it's not the one I wanted.
I'm missing something for my future career.
I would like to get a reference so I can continue working overseas.
I've changed jobs several times and now I don't know how to move forward.
My boss is moody and sets hard goals for me.
I work from morning to night, commute to work, and can't think about anything else.
I have a lot of free time, and that's hard for me.

Yes, yes, I hear their complaints as much as time permits.

If you can put into words, even if only coarsely, the confusion you have been carrying around for so long, you will be able to see a little clearing, and your wild, sideways feelings will lessen as you talk.

So advice is minimal, and only when asked for.

If there is a break in the conversation, just ask one more question after another.

What they say in passing, we put them together.

Every once in a while, I find something impossible to make sense of, no matter how I try.

A place where that story and this story are clashing and not getting anywhere.

Oh, uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess so."

So, if you can find a keyhole somewhere, I would be more than happy to help.

That's all we can do.

Now we just have to hope for their bottom line, gosh darn it.

Complex, Simple, Management

I sometimes lose track of what management is, so I make time to think about this and that.

Today we decided to re-focus on the constraint of "type and amount of work".

First, let's set some simple conditions.

Q1: If one person were to do one type of work in one day or less, would you be able to do it or not?

Yeah, once I get used to it, I think I can do it.

continued

Q2: What five different jobs would one person do in one day or less?

"I'd have to switch heads, and I don't know if I can do that, although I kind of doubt it."

And so on and so on, increasing the number of conditions.

Q3: If five different jobs were to be done within one day by five people with the same experience, what would they be?

Q4: If 5 different jobs were to be done in less than a day by 10 people with different experience?

Q5: If 5 different jobs were to be done in less than 10 days by 10 people with different experience, switching between them, what would you do?

Q6: Assuming that there is an order to the five types of work, and that the next two types of work must not be started until all three types are completed first, and that only three people can do the first three types, and that all ten people can do the remaining seven types, what if the work is done in ten days, with replacement?

It is very complicated.

I don't want to complicate things like this, but, alas, the reality of the job is that it gets in the way before you know it.

But even so, we can't afford to be overzealous, so we're going to have to gather our wits a little more.

Q7: Why does Q6 seem complicated while Q1 is easy?

There are more decisions to be made than at any other time, and if you make a mistake, you don't get a chance to fix it.

Assuming that the answer to this question is "yes," then let's consider the countermeasure.

"If you loosen the restrictions on time as much as possible and reduce the number of branches..."

The first is the "I" in the "I" column.

Okay, then I'll simplify Q6.

Q6': 3 people will do 3 different jobs within 3 days. The remaining 7 people watch and learn at the same time. If the pace of the work is too slow to be completed within 3 days, 7 other people will support the work on the 2nd and 3rd days, and from the 4th day, the 7 people who supported the work will do the main work, and the first 3 people will wait as support?

I am not sure if this is a good answer. To begin with.

Q8: Are the results achieved in a job as complex as Q6 worth it?

Q9: Where is the quality of the finished product in Q6 guaranteed?

Q10: Isn't there really a way to do it with 3 people instead of 10?

It is necessary to ask the question.

Somehow, I wonder if it is management to think about things like this.

In other words, to take the assumptions that build up over time and work them into a complex and risky group of tasks and project them as simple themes as possible.

Well, plausibly, the reason I have developed the logic at such length is because I felt that the premises in the following puzzle problem were too long and could not be made a little shorter.

Question 9: How many children?

You can hear the kids playing in the yard."

Jones, a graduate student in mathematics, said.

Are they all your children?"

No way!"

Professor Smith raised his voice. The professor is a great authority on integer theory.

My children play with the children of three neighborhoods. It is true that we have the most children in the neighborhood. Mr. Brown's place has the next most, followed by Mr. Green's, and Mr. Black's has the fewest.

How many children do you have in total?" Jones asked.

The professor began to explain, "Well, let me put it this way.

The number of children is less than 18. And if you multiply the number of children in each of the four families by the number of children in each of the four families, you get exactly our house number. You see, when we arrived home, you saw it too."

Jones took a notepad and pencil out of his pocket and began to do some calculations. After a while, Jones looked up.

I still need more information. Do you have more than one child at Mr. Black's place?"

When the professor answered yes or no to that, Jones immediately, with a smile on his face, correctly guessed the number of children in each of the four families.

In other words, for Jones, who knew the house numbers and knew whether the Black family had more than one child, the answer to the question was obvious, but surprisingly, in fact, without knowing them, he could uniquely determine the number of each based solely on the information given so far. Now, how many of each?
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Good Design Award: 2024

The e-learning system LearnO received the Good Design Award thanks to the efforts of many different people.

I didn't think cloud services would be eligible, but a senior awardee told me it was okay.

All of the consultants, producers, directors, designers, and engineers who worked on the rebranding over the past three years.

Everyone in inside sales, testers, and back office for their valuable input in the service operation.

I would like to thank all the PR and marketing people who thought of good presentation, timing of announcements, and development methods.

To our clients who have found LearnO online and continue to use it.

To our partners who provided us with video servers and content production.

To our partners who have built their own brand and sold their products as a package.

To all regional partners who have updated their terms of use and processed their accounting.

In addition to that, I have had the support of so many others that I cannot even begin to count.

As there are not many opportunities and places to share this information, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

We could not have come this far without your help.

It is truly invaluable to build a service with a team.

We are proud to have taken one step at a time with those who miraculously joined hands with us.

We will continue to make every effort to provide trustworthy service.

Engaging with the Director

In a previous long interview, we talked about our relationship with engineers and designers, calling it communication with the creator.

Since the long interview itself has already ended and I haven't had a chance to talk to him, I would like to write next about how he perceives and treats directors.

The job of directing the web, the job title of director.

Web production companies, system development companies, SIers, BtoB and BtoC service providers, etc.

There are many different roles, but if we were to extract the roles that are common to all of them, we would say that they are the keystone of the project.

The image of a person who can be depended on by everyone, who judges all information, who balances well, and who is in between.

And, after all, it is also the position that receives the most unreasonable demands.

We are in the middle zone between the creators, such as engineers and designers, and the clients and producers who pay us, and we are exposed to the ever-changing situation of the project.

Therefore, I think it is important to have the intuition to get to the point, or to have a good sense of humor.

Even if you don't know the ins and outs at first, if you gather information diligently, you will manage to get around.

With that in mind, when I speak with directors, I look at the type of stress they are carrying rather than the content.

Is it a problem that you have been carrying around for a long time, or is it a response to a recent problem, or is it the result of being continually pressed by all kinds of deadlines?

If they are talking too fast, or are jumping around, or their faces are stiff, or their voices are different, then yes, I can understand that they are not that good.

And now that I've talked about all the bad things that seem to be happening, let me touch on the rewards of being a director.

What they find rewarding, perhaps, is that they can share their sense of accomplishment with the people involved in the project.

After all, it is a special time to share the present moment with many people, to eat from the same pot, and to accomplish something.

I am also fortunate to be able to collaborate with people who have a power that I do not have.

Therefore, I feel that people with the mentality that if those around them are happy, they are happy too, are suited for the job.

This is our vision of what a director should look like.

that (something mentioned before which is distant psychologically or in terms of time)

if you notice something

This development may be..,

I'm sure some of you may think so.

Yes, this was supposed to be an article, but before I knew it, it had become a new (arate) recruiting guide.

I mean, it's been a while since we've tried to recruit a full-time web director at Mogic, and this section was overflowing with them.

Ah, but since we're here.

cough

Now, let's begin again.

The purpose of this recruitment is not to fill a vacancy, but to expand the work of the Market Direction department.

I have talked only about the director image, but we are also doing a good job of marketing work.

Whether you are new to the IT industry, a new graduate who has only been working for a few years, or just starting your job search, we are open to all.

Mogic's selection process is always a good fit with the current members.

We see little experience or skill.

If you are interested, please contact us.

These days, you can speak with them beforehand in a casual interview (not a job interview).

Now, as a side note, I would like to leave you with some thoughts on what the best director is, not just the basic director's role.

Who is the best director?

Of course, I don't want to be the only director who seems to get lucky for everyone on the project, because I don't want to be the only one who gets lucky.

In other words, a direction that allows people to make choices they did not think about after much thought and consideration, and that somehow keeps everyone focused and happy, even though it is too hard to do so due to adversity and cornering and cornering.

Few, very few

In the company, we are expected to do things properly and in accordance with our objectives.

Having said that, if I happen to find something good, even though it's not what I'm after, I'm happy to do so.

A steady path to the goal and an unexpected encounter.

I was hoping to find a good balance between the two without being biased toward one or the other, and I found the expression I was looking for in the biochemical mechanism.

Many proteins self-assemble - fold - into an intricate three-dimensional form.

The amino acid chain is constantly bumped into by countless other molecules flying in from the surroundings.

This collision is caused by the vibration of the molecules, which we call heat.

It is also the engine that propels protein folding.

abbreviation

What I didn't mention before is that protein chains don't stop moving even after they are folded.

Its shape is held together by the chemical attraction between nearby amino acids, but it continues to wiggle and quiver as it is continually tossed about by thermal vibrations.

These movements are essential to the work performed by most proteins and catalyze the chemical reactions that power all life on earth - including the thousands of enzymes that accelerate reactions.

And some of these enzymes protect the organism by tearing down and destroying antibiotics.

abbreviation

In the enzyme that cuts through the antibiotic, the folding of the enzyme leads to these movements, knocking certain amino acids to where the molecule needs to be torn apart.

The resulting collision tears the antibiotic.

It is similar to how scissors cut through paper, but the forces at work are chemical rather than mechanical, involving attraction and repulsion between atoms.

abbreviation

Like scissors with a slightly loose pivot, enzyme-induced movement can be sloppy.

It might bind the wrong amino acid to the molecule that jumped in.

Alternatively, the amino acids could be correct but bind in the wrong place.

abbreviation

For these reasons, many enzymes that accelerate one type of chemical reaction can also accelerate other reactions.

Biochemists also refer to this as a "loose" enzyme with substrate specificity.

Because it catalyzes reactions with a wide variety of molecular partners.
Wooooooo!

When we examine the metabolism of living organisms, we find that it is a very complex circuit, but in fact there are some surprisingly loose parts.

In terms of the body, it is the interlocking of multiple parts that maintains overall activity, not to mention the fact that certainty and reproducibility at the cellular level is the foundation.

But even at such a level, there is looseness.

A very small amount of looseness creates a new protein, which replaces the DNA strand.

If so, I will make the leap that it is so.

I wondered what would happen if we could have the slightest looseness in the organization of the company.

Ideally, we can hypothesize that "very little looseness catalyzes reactions with a wide variety of members.

The problem, however, is the saltiness.

It is difficult to find the right amount of looseness.

Slight, koekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoekoek.

I tried to use the word "slight" in three different ways, but I still couldn't come up with a good idea, so I decided to order some sweets that are appropriate for the beginning of autumn today.

Incidentally, I recommend the evolutionary biology books mentioned above, which have many interesting theories.
