A few weeks ago, everyone @TheLeadDev was tasked by @dafletcher to produce a short illustrated children's book in two hours. The catch? We had to use generative AI tools to write the copy and illustrate the pages. 🧵

@andyskipper @WillRochaThomas @SlackHQ @DaveSchinkel @TheLeadDev The problem is Slack is a perfect environment for our audience. I also get why they can’t support communities. For now we are sticking with it but I’d be interested if you find a decent alternative.

Perfection 👌

Post pandemic, if you are sticking with hybrid-remote working, this article by @nmeans lays out the areas of your working practice that you need to intentionally adapt. We're on a journey at @TheLeadDev to get there but still much to improve... https://t.co/vx7cyz4Ilq

Sunday question: What is something a great manager you have had did or does that makes you really respect them? I’m looking for acts not traits. (Ex. Holds 1:1s with me every week)

@BigBlueBeez @edwardlamb As @edwardlamb mentions in the thread, drivers definitely give you a wide berth, with the very odd exception. My wife is a less confident cyclist but is fine on the beast. I feel safer than on a normal bike: traffic respects you and the motor gives you more control.

@The_RHS seriously? In 2022?

[Dave Fletcher @dafletcher]

@Francessss @ProjectDavis Wow. Well if the icebreakers are happening in smaller groups, then our simple Monday morning one might work: just a single question that allows people to tell a funny/warm story. It’s my fav part of the week. E.g. Worst or best Xmas present?

[Dave Fletcher @dafletcher]

@Francessss @ProjectDavis What size team?

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

It's a pattern. Corruption is a threat to our democracy.

Don’t get caught out by the Big @BritishGas £140m Scam @Trustpilot https://t.co/rIHwmP9m0H

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

530,126 people were told by NHS Test and Trace that they had to isolate last week.

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak won’t because they believe the rules all of us follow should not apply to them.

This government is a sleazy, duplicitous joke.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

The next couple of weeks will involve experts telling the government to close the schools in January, which it will strongly reject before agreeing to it.

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

That extra £350m a week can’t come soon enough...
