Купити для Nate пиво

I wrote my first book in 2020/2021 - The Life Sciences IT Survival Guide. It is free and can be found here: longwalk.consulting/library.

It's all about being the first IT person in a new company and negotiating your journey into the IT Hall of Fame. It also isn't just about Life Sciences, in fact, that's only a few bits of it; the rest is pretty much applicable to any industry.

Then I wrote a second book - The Calculus of IT - which was about 6x as big as the first book. No one was going to read 1200 pages so I am releasing it in chapters as I find time to edit and update. It's also free and can be found at the link above.

It's mostly about all of the things I left out of the first book due to space and, mostly, due to not wanting to offend anyone more than I already did.

In late Summer of 2025, I released my third book - The IT Autonomy Paradox - which is all about the erosion of autonomy in IT decision making and how IT leaders can not only get it back but build it as a core capability.

Two years ago, my long-time wonder-twin and super IT genius, Mike Crispin, and I got together to start a podcast which is also called "The Calculus of IT" - it's about the books above but also about everything else going on in the world of IT. It's fun, we are having a good time, and the podcast is also free to everyone, because why not stick with the theme?

I take a pretty sizable monetary loss each year to pay for the domains, emails, websites, subscriptions, and a personal time loss for all of the late nights, weekends, early mornings I am not with my loved ones to create content and get ideas out of my brain.

If you want to throw us a few bucks, we won't say no and will put it to good use for the show or for future content! Include a message with your donation, and we will give you a shout-out and read your message (in any style you like).
