It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 15 years, since 9 Jan 2008 (via @twi_age).

[Derek Winter @dwinter]

So, here’s the question. Could you as leader decide to make no decisions?

@alliewonder @MediaOneAus @MrsKK8 @konstantkaos As an aside, the number of home education students in VIC grew 20% from 2019 to 2020, up to ~7200. It'd be interesting to know what it is currently.

Hi All,
I'm interested in how companies of folks in Australia are handling vaccinations. Encouraging employee's, incentivising, mandating? What's happening where you work? What would you like to see before you go back to the office?

[Derek Winter @dwinter]

@VicGovDH @covidliveau Is there anywhere we can find information in VIC about how many of the new cases were already isolating when they caught COVID vs in the community?

[Derek Winter @dwinter]

@TomPotanski Hi Tom, Although we have an awesome flexibility policy, we benefit from collaborating (and having fun) together in our office in Melbourne. So, full-time remote work is not an option. If you're migrating ... get in touch ;-)

1.9M fewer Australians. That's the forecasted impact on population by 2041. It equates to 788k fewer children (466k primary, 322k secondary) and 162k fewer new homes req'd in Metro Melb alone. What does that mean for the services you provide?👇

Scrum is a set of prescribed processes that optimizes for control.
Kanban is a scheduling system that optimizes for flow and limits waste.

Both of them help you build software incrementally.
However, neither of them help you build sustainable software or sustainable teams. 1/5

@mark_barbs @LarryLarmeu Fair point, shouldn’t jump to conclusions, just assumed it wasn’t intended to be a 1-way presentation based on the way the way the question was asked. Agree with you if that’s the case.
