@justintimekc @adazlian I mostly remember the megamerg prs with every file being changed and people asking why the builds seemed to take so long! Also having to remind people a hot fix is normally done in production...

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@adazlian Now can we play D&D?

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@GergelyOrosz @managertools Of course, if the ship is sinking, role power telling everyone to bail water is also required or everyone drowns. High stress does lead to building trust quicker though!

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@GergelyOrosz The underlying issue is changing things before building trust with the org. @managertools has a good podcast (https://t.co/QwKkZGyHsd), step one Fit In (no new initiatives)! This applies more for sr leaders, whose changes have an even greater impact and need more trust.

@adazlian @davidmitchell I finally understand organic architecture!

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@adazlian Could you use PowerShell to create a downvote button? Just read a tweet I need to downvote. I will also settle for a dislike.

@sykesjs I walked up to check them out this morning and they were already switched over. I can confirm I feel asleep and woke up to the song Chiefs Kingdom! My wife keeps becoming a bigger fan and asking when we are getting back to KC.

@erikakers @NetflixUIE Now Brookside loves those, anything to keep the taxes up!

When your family knows you work in code and a gift kicks off a conversation about what html and css are!

Strange DNS isn't on here...

@5ype I feel it is my duty, since you included SRE and DevOps, to ask how you measure "well".

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@5ype Are you saying I can reduce my cloud spend by 50% using this one simple trick?

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@andrewicarlson @heroku @awscloud @Azure @googlecloud Netlify also changed how they charge, which dramatically increased cost for teams. Many have moved to AWS Amplify and GCP AppEngine to get something out and running instead.

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@adazlian But it will be a dry heat, so not so bad.

Seriously though, ridiculous.

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@DylanWa68690046 Sorry for the inconvenience.

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@5ype Example, "Let's do it, let me know when complete."

VS

"[Ticket #] is good to move ahead @ [nameofperson]. It should be complete by [date]. Let me know by COB [date] if there are any issues. If I am unavailable, follow up with [stakeholder] or [backup]"

[George Hipp @GeorgeHipp]

@5ype It is difficult! There are many differences between the two and issues if they are used incorrectly. In my experience, it mostly involves context. Sync comms context can be implicit, since it is typically in the moment. When using async comms, context needs to be explicit.
