@kellan I started to use https://t.co/L7gVOp8Rf5 to make all my conversations in one place. I am wondering if it helps solving your CRM problem.

"Our industry tends to focus on tech instead of outcome. One should use micro-services as a means to obtain a desired outcome rather than for the scale of using a new technology."

Main advantage of micro-services: independent deployability, isolation of processing around data, clear boundary and ownership that leads to higher degree of organizational autonomy.

The goal of software design is to create chunks or slices that fit into a human mind. The software keeps growing but the human mind maxes out, so we have to keep chunking and slicing differently if we want to keep making changes.

Ms 7 wanted to join a meeting and the meeting owner said sure, if she brought an agenda. So she came back with this.

It's fairly universal. Feel free to use it for your own meetings.

It's been six months since we were all in one place with our teams. 😐 What do you do to foster bonding and real human connection with your coworkers? What actually works?

Interested in creative answers that go beyond having zoom happy hours, playing online games together, etc.

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.

It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

By "cognitive work" I mean everything *above* the line, here:

When you try to make fewer mistakes by making fewer mistakes you slow feedback, learn less, and make more mistakes. When you speed feedback you learn more and make fewer mistakes.

Reminder to all engineers out there that “post-incident” blog posts cannot be considered to reflect how the company learns from incidents.

Those posts are not written for that purpose! Engineers are rarely the audience; if they are its aimed at those with contract authority. 1/n

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Failure is an incredible learning experience.
It teaches you humility. It teaches you to work harder. It is the first step to understanding.

“Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence.”

[Bonnie Pan @bonniepan02]

Seeking for some answer to a puzzling problem? Come up with a hypothesis and a test. Run the experiment multiple times and look for the signals. Also remember: Testing isn't always a great tool for forecasting. A failing test doesn't indicate future performance in that same test.

The current discussion on opening up and relaxing caution (especially in the U.S.) is EXACTLY like dealing with product managers and execs who want to rush a buggy AND poorly-tested product to the market. Trust me; I am a tester.
