@jonlauridsen @Kath_Cooper_ Whether that is a bit of coding, research, product management, learn basic SQL queries for data and analytics, customer interaction etc. You'll develop empathy for the people who actually do the delivery and insight into where things get stuck and how they can be improved.

[Sam Lewis @SamDLewis]

@jonlauridsen @Kath_Cooper_ Very kind of you @jonlauridsen! For years I was performing the role of a DM without knowing it was an actual job! I've found the best grounding is to get a broad experience of the things people actually do in teams to get stuff done. (1/2)

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the British rowing team unexpectedly won the Men’s Eight Rowing gold medal.

One simple question was instrumental in their success.

“Will it make the boat go faster?”

This question could also be vital for your early-stage team & company.

Difficult day today as we had to say goodbye to our King Charles Cavalier, Chester.

Dogs, for a reason that can only be described as divine, have the ability to forgive, let go of the past, and live each day joyously. It’s something the rest of us strive for.

@kornys @kief Yes, we've had success previously using upsource from @jetbrains https://t.co/jD1Qm5sR8q

[Sam Lewis @SamDLewis]

@GoodbodyRita I've come to think that in most cases these things are never as bad or as good as either side claims. However, the one thing I hope it doesn't mean is we miss out on more Rita's coming to the UK in future and contributing as much as you have.
