@allenholub @Cynebeald I struggle with this description of customer whilst developing digital products for government. As the person paying is often the tax payers (the public).

Instead focusing on the user or stakeholder who receives the value.

I'm giving Netlify Forms a trial run on the Zip Digital website. Simple to implement and has robust JS support (if needed).

Is it me getting rusty or is more and more CSS code becoming unreadable / not easy to understand?

Variable names not meaningful + complex calc() (or other functions) makes it difficult to understand what's happening at first glance.

I'll choose readable over "clever" any day.

Calling out the "adding context" section from Igor Arkhipov's article.

Personally, I found myself naturally adding this into user stories.

Product Roadmaps are not Release Plans or Project Plans. Context is everything. #ProductManagement #ProductOwner

Burnout isn't due to a lack of motivation. It's caused by a shortage of capacity.

There are more interesting people and projects than hours in the day. The key question isn't whether you have interest. It's whether you have bandwidth.

Enthusiasm is boundless. Time is finite.
