🙌 @codegirlbrooke 's #DIDevOps22 talk on Fostering a Culture of Learning through Observability!
moving from a knowing culture to a learning culture is how you *build strong engineering teams*, instead of relying on a small set of strong individuals.
Now that restaurants are mostly open again - * Let's talk about the right way to book them *
This is a more complicated subject than one might think (warning: long thread). And a frustrating one for both diners and restaurant owners.
And me!
Because, well, we've studied it /1
@pennymerelle @LonesomeJay I'm sorry it made you feel ill. I'm not sure I would've noticed this was beer at all hadn't you said so 🙈 but to be fair it does say "LACTOSE" *right there*!
@RiaLolwut@VaporizerWizard@rustybrick I've been seeing this lately as well, if anyone has figured out more about the "datesol" spam and a good way to handle it, I'd love to chat. Searching for this on the web is difficult - because they filled it up with said spam :-/
"The problem with taking the org chart at face value is that we end up trying to architect people as if they were software .. people don't restrict their comms only to those connected lines on the chart. We reach out to whomever we depend on to get work done."
#TeamTopologies
Next up on my reading stack is #TeamTopologies - it's pretty relevant to some of my projects at the moment and often referenced (i.e. Thoughtworks' tech radar) so I'm excited to finally go to the source rather than building a second-hand understanding.

After a long break between reads I finally finished #InnovatorsDilemma. It's a great book and makes a convincing case for how hard it is for incumbent companies to adopt disruptive technologies. It felt slightly repetitive at times, thus a little hard to get through.
Fast CI/CD is a game changer, a life changer, a completely different profession than slow, arduous, delayed deployments. It is difficult to overstate and difficult to explain to those who have never experienced the difference.
And having done so, it is *excruciating* to go back.
@Daganev It does seem a bit obvious when taken out of context. The author makes the point that mgmt has less freedom in their decision making than one would commonly expect. And that this resource dependence is what makes incumbent businesses vulnerable to disruption.

"companies' freedom of action is limited to satisfying the needs of those entities outside the firm (customers and investors, primarily) that give it the resources it needs to survive."
