@WePlayFootball_ Hi - I’m trying to get in touch with you regarding being told we are expected to play in the extreme heat today, despite a Met Office warning of up to 41 degrees in London. Is this the company’s position?

[Daniel Watts @dan_badge]

@vtri Well look at this! Very exciting 😊

Second attempt with Wardley mapping. This time with a build v buy decision - where a platform purchase can help us and where it can’t. It really helped shape a lot of ambiguity

A colleague posted this on HackerNews. It took off and I'm blown away by the reaction. If you can sort through all people arguing with each other, there's a lot of interesting comments in there https://t.co/FnJvNMpFfE

It's been a while since I've taken the time to write. Here are a few thoughts from me on behaviours to avoid in a software architecture role, all of which I've seen or learnt the hard way.

@nanliulym Glad you like it! I’m happy for it to be the translated as long as it links to the original post 👍

Finishing two months of pat leave and grateful to be able to take that much time off. Going back to work whilst at home with a little one seems mad, fair play to those of you who have been doing it this whole time.

I’m always looking for sport-related posts that might apply to leadership (and in this case learning). Easily, my favourite post from this issue was this one by @farnamstreet on The Inner Game of Tennis
