"An outcome is a measurable change in human behaviour that will help to achieve before set (company) goals."

Outcome-based-roadmaps are a really good way to develop a product.

In this thread I will tell you why 🧵

If you're unable to create a majestic monolith with basic programming tools like encapsulation and namespaces, you don't have what it takes to improve upon the situation with a distributed swarm of microservices. Your spaghetti code will just be on five different plates.

After years of only hearing about it, I finally got my hands on the 5-page bodybuilding forum thread wherein a couple dudes get into a heated argument over how many days there are in a week and I am here to tell you that it is infinitely funnier than I even imagined it would be.

And louder for the people in the back: The value of your book shelf comes from the books you want to read (or re-read), not from the ones you have already read. 😊

*Official Announcement*

It's OK to buy a book, even if you didn't read all books on your shelf yet.

Have a nice #WorldBookDay!

It's 2023, and I’m tired of debates about estimation and story points.

“We’re always so busy”

a weird way of saying

“It’s unclear what’s important”

"The world has changed. We feel it in the discourse. We feel it in the factions. We smell it on the feed. Much of what once was is lost. Our best hope is that Twitter by accident, intent, or happenstance is thrown into the fire of Mount Doom." https://t.co/yxs75v1MxW

[Daniel Wellner @DMWellner]

@allenholub I totally agree with that. And agility in thinking is something that people will need to learn. And I believe anyone *can* learn that.

However a turtle will never be able to become agile like a gazelle. That's what I dislike in the metaphor.

MUSK: I, the richest man in the world, bought Twitter and wish to bend it to my will. Now, I’ve just fired half of your co-workers, but I expect the rest of you to work long hours and do exactly as I say. Are you with me?

STAFF: No

MUSK: Why is it so hard to find team players

[Allen Holub. https://linkedIn.com/in/allenholub @allenholub]

This is a great video, even by Dave's already high standards! 😄

Are we waiters (order takers) or doctors (people who give advice based on expertise)? All of the "we must estimate the work to get customers" folks think we're waiters, a huge waste of talent and expertise.

Journalist and former Texas Monthly editor Christopher Hooks @cd_hooks has had his Twitter account restricted after posting this tweet about @elonmusk Elon Musk (the retweet function is disabled for the tweet as well)

I'm now also on Mastodon. Let's connect if interested. @[email protected]

I will remain here on Twitter for now, but I have big worries about the direction, and I fear it will turn into something that I don't want to support. Happy to be proven wrong.

[Daniel Wellner @DMWellner]

Whether you are thinking about staying on here or leaving, I strongly suggest to have a look at this thread.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Each of us can help create a culture of psychological safety: 1) Admit our own mistakes 2) Run lots of experiments to try out improvements 3) Make space to speak, be curious & say "I don't know" 4) Be patient - psychological safety takes time/effort/persistence. By @tom_geraghty

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Elon Musk is again claiming that he’s all about free speech. So let’s look at the record. Here’s thread with just a few of the countless examples showing he couldn't care about it less (🧵)

[Daniel Wellner @DMWellner]

@mathiasverraes I get what you are saying and I don't disagree with that.

However, I wonder if normalizing psychological safety in politics would be ultimately better for us all.

Would we get more traction in big complicated matters if politics was more like a series of small,safe experiments?

Dear Junior Developers, we didn’t hire you for your output.

We hired you for your future potential. Slow down and focus on up-skilling.
