@TechLloyd Depends if you just wrote something provocative or not ;)

@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

The brilliant @RowsePoppy and @the_sheps have written this fantastic article on Building Infrastructure Platforms from the experience we had on a client recently https://t.co/87hGcovlXd

[Martin Fowler @martinfowler]

We have just been informed that Afghan refugees will soon be housed in two hotels in Manchester. Our Manchester volunteers are gearing up to meet them but they need your support. Please support our fundraiser to buy the basic essentials they will need: https://t.co/NE9Ah2po1x

Correlation or causation? 🤔

You can recycle your soft plastics like crisp packets and bread bags at Co-op. We can all do our bit for the environment ➡️ https://t.co/W20HNqpUDM #CleanItScrunchItCoopIt

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

Wearing a bit of cloth on a train or in a supermarket doesn't mean you're a prisoner in a Gulag, find yourself a real injustice to suffer from!

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!!

[Chris Herd @chris_herd]

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”

It’s happening

@the_sheps Cuddle!

[poppy rowse @RowsePoppy]

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

[poppy rowse @RowsePoppy]

@heyOnuoha Tech debt? What do you mean? Why didn’t you build it right the first time?

[CryptoAlbus.eth @CryptoAlbus_eth]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you do not need a CS degree to be a great developer 👏🏻
