High performance sports teams embed psychologists in the org to improve outcomes. Why don't we do this in software? https://t.co/s6GN6vNpDp

@victorialwalton You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

Protip when online shopping for items you might usually pick up at a store... DO NOT PURCHASE THROUGH @Dyson #Canada. So far this week I’ve spent 3 hours by phone and chat trying to locate a $1000 order. No two answers are the same re: order status or shipping address 🙃🤦🏽‍♂️

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@Aeroplan I’ll keep trying but wanted to let you know I may wind up having to no show for @AirCanada 468 in the morning.

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@Aeroplan 👋🏽 I know it’s a busy week for you folks! I’m unable to cancel my flight tomorrow online and even with my Diamond Status am being rejected when calling 1-800-361-5373. I’ve been advised by a doctor that my travel is non-essential and so I don’t want to increase risk.

If you’re a girl interested in cyber security or if you know any who might be interested, the Cyber First Girls competition is an amazing opportunity! Registration has just opened for 2020 ⤵️

@manikas @Aeroplan @AirCanada ^ Probably another program “improvement”, right? Recall @aeroplan has already made it clear that “status” no longer matters. Maybe if we were more “engaged” members they would take our calls... whatever that means. Who cares if active you’ve been in program for decades? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@manikas @Aeroplan @AirCanada Maybe this is @Aeroplan’s way on announcing their latest “improvement” to the program... “SURPRISE! We’ve done away with fixed mileage fares too!” 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@manikas @Aeroplan @AirCanada Not much incentive to fix 🤷🏾‍♂️. The longer fixed mileage options are unavailable, the greater the benefit to @AirCanada (urgent bookings will move to cash or market fare mirage).

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

In case you were wondering how not to execute a major critical business system transition, @Aeroplan and @AirCanada have a great live case study in WHAT NOT TO DO happening RIGHT NOW! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@Aeroplan “Dear Adam: If you want to fly next week, book with @WestJet or @porterairlines.” Got it. Thanks @Aeroplan / @AirCanada! 🤦🏽‍♂️

@uro55 @zeeke55 @Aeroplan @aeroplan Can we get an update with estimated time to resolution please? Have been trying to book this flight for two days now...

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@uro55 @zeeke55 @Aeroplan They must mean midday pacific time 😛

[Adam Lomas @adalo]

@zeeke55 @Aeroplan @uro55 Same issue. Also, when I search using website there is no fixed mileage inventory for any date (although “alternate dates” shows fixed mileage options... they just don’t exist when you click search).

Skills don’t add, they compound

A content creator who is a great writer + photographer + graphic designer is worth 10x any of those skills individually

The Lindy Effect for startups:

The longer you go without shipping product, the more likely you will never ship product.

[Doc Norton @DocOnDev]

If you have separate teams doing development, testing, and production support all for the same set of features, you might be working in a bad system.

As a Product Owner who doesn't understand my role
I want to know how many story points my team will deliver this Sprint
So that I can report progress to my manager
