Bye @devopsams 2022. Thank you everyone for your time I feel richer for having spent it with you.

Specifically thank you organisers for making it possible.

Great game of tech debt. Nice experience and definitely a great conversation starter. Thanks for hosting @josvanschouten @FloorDrees @devopsams

[Thijs De Meester @demeesterdev]

@jpiscaer Mmmm, it's good to have you back

[Thijs De Meester @demeesterdev]

I've found a new mantra for when I feel overwhelmed:

"No. Is a complete sentence"

Thank you @luckygirliegirl

[Thijs De Meester @demeesterdev]

Why it's important to be able to say no? Well if you don't respect your own time, how can you expect others to respect your time.

You need time to focus on your goals!!

... what does it say about me tweeting during the talk ....

😅This might hit home...

[Thijs De Meester @demeesterdev]

@RobinGilijamse It definitely was. The winner is the one with the most progress when the timer runs out. You set the timer yourself, with a recommended 5 minutes per patispant. So anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes.

Never let data take the lead when formulating questions!
The hardest part is collecting clean data to get an (mostly) unbiased answer. When you answer the questions formed with data in the lead, you will reinforce existing views.

@ramannoodlez On average you are the thing holding the team back, at least according to the paper accompanying this tweet https://t.co/DG7r3R2WHu

The collective intelligence of a team depends on more than the intelligence of individual members. It is limited by the emotional intelligence of the least sensitive team member. But adding folks with high social skills to any team greatly improves overall collective intelligence
