@Grady_Booch It is "possible" - it is also "possible" that lizard aliens live amongst us... maybe they"ll make the breakthrough...

@DavidMcCarter Telling a crazy lie and then storming off will not help you understand how Die Hard is more of a Christmas movie than anything on the Hallmark Channel. There's an Advent Calendar of Hans Gruber falling down Nakitomi Plaza. Kinda proves it...

Personal experience - @easyJet is basically smoking @British_Airways on customer service. Flights closer to being on time, better comms, the whole lot. Thinking of canceling my next BA trip because they have been such the dog's breakfast...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

Very disappointed in @British_Airways who basically ruined a little weekend vacation to Nice by being a total of ~8 hours late on the round trip. Had to taxi between train stations in London to barely make the last train home because Underground had stopped running for the night.

@socketnorm about f'ing time...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@jenlooper I didn't realize you were an expert in Flash and Dreamweaver... Respect for the skill range... 😀

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@josierones - Rosie Fookin' Jones - couldn't watch your show on @channel4 last night, but just finished watching it.

😍😍Well done, lass...

Your courage is an inspiration.

@reginalddhunter @EverythingOOC Ohh please, after a few beers you'll be like "sooo, hows yo cousin? She in town?"... 🤣🤣

@ardalis Can't say I completely agree. Estimates and schedules aren't just for engineers. They are for doc team, training team, sales, finance team etc that will have work to do once something is delivered. The product is the sum of all that.

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@thebeebs Aye, its gotten nutz. I couldn't imagine staying on here if I didn't get such immense satisfaction from blocking...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@realDotNetDave Aren't you???

HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN THE TERMINATOR???

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@thebeebs But does that have to have been their job? I say no - but it has to be something you are interested in. I would argue that as a HM it is easier to teach the tech to a new hire than it is to teach the softer skills...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@thebeebs Meh... it depends on how you define the role. If you emphasize the teaching aspect then technologists are rarely the best - you need a teacher that knows tech.

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@realDotNetDave No no, no - don't reply to me, you'll bring me down with you...

ChatGPT is awesome and I loves it and its friends to pieces...

Pheww, hope that saves me...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@realDotNetDave @Office After 6 months of using Google Docs I would kick a puppy for the opportunity to use Word again...

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@Grady_Booch But the fun you can have blocking them... it has become a morning ritual while I drink my coffee

[Bill Penberthy @BillVest]

@boristane New functionality needs training documentation created. That takes time. Account teams need to understand how to sell it... more time.

If you can't help other teams build their timelines, then you aren't adding as much value to the business as you seem to think...
