@Bendre @mattbarcomb My thought is that leadership is intentional.
You can inspire others through your actions and behaviour. That doesn't feel like leadership though.
A good outcome is more important than the word you use though. People get caught up on words.

If you're into #RPG I encourage you to check out Elemental. Simple system, easy to learn, you can layer it onto almost any type of theme.

Many see required changes around themselves.
Some look at themselves to see what change is required.

Developer challenge:
How small can you refactor?
Try to work in tiny steps.

[Bryan Beecham @BillyGarnet]

A good developer finds a way to solve a hard problem.
A great developer simplifies the problem to make it easy.

@lissijean Now I want to make a Canadian ChatBot that apologizes, talks about the weather and says Eh? a lot.

If you are trying to refactor your spaghetti code to a layered architecture, an intermediate step would be lasagna code with layers of spaghetti. Sounds and looks delicious.

Can you see the for loops in the top layer? What other patterns do you see?

@jwgrenning Lol. James, that's an amazing photo!
What a great metaphor for a typical code base.

@Bendre @meghana27 @NASA That is very cool.

Ah, now begins the biannual ritual of all my meetings with Europe being completely messed up.

[Bryan Beecham @BillyGarnet]

@lissijean We need to turf this time change twice a year. What an embarrassment as a society.

[Bryan Beecham @BillyGarnet]

@SamuelMotal Tough call.
A split between saving me time and giving me confidence.

@TheBillyDuffy @jimdunlopusa Thanks for sharing this. One of my favourite riffs. So much fun to play.

[Bryan Beecham @BillyGarnet]

@mattbarcomb @tottinge Not a fan of dedicated refactoring.
Refactoring is about small changes, removing barriers in our way, moving the code towards a simpler design, increasing our understanding.
No matter the state we're in, let's just make it a bit better. It can be hard but it can be done.

@lissijean I just noticed that's a sit / stand desk in the middle. Very nice. Love that green.
