@ministryoftest Haven't made it for a few years, but... The people, the ideas, the conversations, and being with my tribe

Good tip, and not just managers. Feedback, however well intentioned, when provided out of the blue, can put the recipient in a defensive state if delivered when they're not ready for it. By seeking permission, you allow the recipient to be better prepared to take it onboard

[Heather Reid @heather_reiduff]

Pro tip "Ask your manager if they are open to receiving feedback today" from @alex_schl at #AgileTD. They get a lot of criticism every single day & sometimes your feedback might be better another time.

[Vasco Duarte @duarte_vasco]

This is your regular reminder that estimation is destroying value (focus on duration/cost, not value), and creating conflict (my estimate vs your), as well as misdirecting management attention (velocity vs. value performance) #NoEstimates

@benjaminkelly 100% agreed. Now 2 months in to my second occurrence and I am, just quietly, over it.

Reading reports from Old Trafford one can't help but feel that the Australian cricket team is suffering from the age-old Australian problem known as "The front fell off" https://t.co/v16Tbwd0J7

@ThePirateTester Definitely feeling you Lee. The unexplained rejections in particular aren't fun. Just got to keep believing that it's the universe holding you back for the right one. Fingers crossed it comes soon, for both of us 🤞

[Ian Cooper @ICooper]

Software Engineering continues to suffer from a binary, context free perspective on practices, patterns and tools. Any practice is either "excellent" or "awful" in all scenarios.

Engineering needs to mature to understanding there is a box of tools which may help in your context.

[Nick Pass @SlatS]

@lisacrispin @TesterFromLeic @AST_News He is! @3r1c_p
