Thank you to everyone who joined us this week for #HashiConf Europe in Amsterdam and online. We will post all sessions soon, but in the meantime here is a quick look back at the week.
@GOFAI_ @martinfowler@the_sheps@thoughtworks 100% agree - in person event storming is FAR more effective (and fun). These days if in person isn’t feasible then remote event storm is also good, esp compared to isolated chats to map out separate parts of an org which takes ages to do and is more likely to have gaps

I can't believe we STILL have to remind people of this after A YEAR AND A HALF but:
If your pet appears on the Zoom, you are REQUIRED to introduce it so the rest of us may address it by name
It’s impressive that you can do a PCR Covid test at home, post it off, then get the results by text.
What’s not impressive is that people with a cervix can’t do an invasive but life saving smear test in the comfort and privacy of their own home.

@TechLloyd I was worried about this too especially since I was moving surgery across council jurisdictions (from manc to West Yorkshire) so I changed my docs after I got both my jabs. Seems my worries we’re right!!
From a CEO:
“I interviewed 12 candidates this week… 60% are looking for new roles because their current company is asking them to come back to the office 3+ days/week”

Helping people up rather than getting angry when they repeatedly aren’t doing their job properly is really fucking difficult but totally worth it in the end for you and for them
