The Royal Marines say that elite performance is a state of mind. I can show you what that looks like when building cross functional tech teams.

Clarity and consistency come before scale. Trying to go straight there means chaos.

Innovation and Insurgency.

Why is it so hard to do innovation in a big organisation and what can we do to ensure that small organisations are able to keep innovating as they grow?

Anyone done any work on modelling logistics/supply chains with #Haskell? Can you point me to any libraries or DSLs for building networks or supply and demand. Let's say I wanted to model samples sent to labs with different capacities and test execution times. What should I read?

Bit of fun: Google your first name + glamour shot (eg. Kerri Glamour Shot). Select the second image, no matter what it is, and that is your glamour shot - this could go horribly wrong

Haskell-ide-engine and Ghcide teams are joining forces to work on a single Haskell IDE. See https://t.co/jdHWXLhHW1 for details. With @cocreature, @alan_zimm and many contributors from both sides.

I really like my interval functor. Linear, areal, volumetric, & hyper-orthotopic delimited regions; sampling; union & intersection; lots of goodness.

1/ Heads up!

I'm preparing a guide to fixing organisational problems in scaling software development teams.

I'd love to talk to you if you're a founder or leader dealing with this! Things I'll cover (feedback welcomed):

[Ben Ford @commandodev]

What have been people's biggest pain points scaling dev teams and orgs past social inflection points (10-16, 30-50, 50-100, 150+).

My research suggest commonalities, but I want to hear a wide range of other people's experience. Will collate and report back.

RT for reach pls 🙏
