Mark Challinor

I've worked across nine UK public-sector organisations. I help teams decide what to build, work with engineers rather than around them.

@LeighIngham1 Congratulations. All your hard work has turned Stafford red, and with that, a better future for us all.

[Mark Challinor @markchallinor]

@LeighIngham1 has my vote #Labour

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Today, Britain’s future is on the ballot.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I am concerned about a low turnout in today’s election. It took centuries of campaigning to secure our democratic right to vote so it’s important you exercise that right today and vote. No matter what the polls say an election is not over until the votes are counted.

#GeneralElection

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The 4th July - a date forever associated with vanquishing an unpopular, out of touch leadership who charged taxes without providing services. I'm not sure Sunak has thought this through...
#GeneralElection

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Change.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Sunak saved us from a list of his own Conservative Party's proposals.

Such horrors as 7 bins, taxes on flights and rewarding car sharing.

Wow, he really picked a great list of imaginary horrors...

Crumbling schools, no healthcare and endless sewage.

Are what he delivered.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

72% of the UK believe that Water Company bosses who illegally dump sewage should go to jail.

RT if you think they should too.

And they still charge customers BILLIONS in sewage treatment charges that they don’t do.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Amendments to the ‘Levelling up’ bill go to the House of Lords.

They include the changes allowing builders to pollute as much as they like.

RT if the Lords should block this crap.

Great reminder that you need to do things right to go faster

Mindmeld

Imagine you and your team are rowing a boat together. What will help you all get from Point A to Point B the fastest?

The first answer is: row hard! -- the faster you row, the faster you get to your destination!

The second answer is: row in the same direction! -- nothing is more frustrating than everyone rowing as hard as they can, but the boat goes nowhere because half the team is rowing forwards and half the team backwards.

The third answer is: row at the same time! -- If you watch an elite set of rowers, every single movement they make is in sync. There is even a person on the boat with a megaphone ensuring this real-time coordination!

--

Your product team at work is no different.

To be a high-performing team, these 3 ingredients are critical:

1. Work hard -- but recognize it is not enough. You must also...
2. Work towards the same direction AND
3. Work in a coordinated fashion

To do 2 and 3, the entire team must have the exact same map in their heads of the end destination, the route to take, and what each person's role is in traversing that route.

I think of this shared plan as having mindmeld.

If a team does not have mindmeld, it will instead reap pain — the entire spectrum from resentment ("Team X is the reason we're slow!") to sloppy output ("Z is not good enough!"); circular conversions ("I thought we were doing A first instead of B, now we're back to A?") to office politics ("Y impresses leadership by saying the right things but is not actually doing the work!").

If you are on a team and you do not sense everyone is on the same page, you need to make some noise about it.

I find this rolls off the tongue quite nicely: We do not have mindmeld.

Slow down and build that shared headspace to go faster.

🤖📈 Autonomous Agents Are The Fastest Growing Open-Source Technology In History

- But... what are autonomous agents?
- How do they work?
- How can you build or use one?

I wrote you the best overview on the planet.

Get ready for your mind to explode 🤯

Thanks @_jason_today will add that to my #promting

Just made a really cool prompt discovery. I’ll refer to it as “importance weighting” - a new tool in your promoting repertoire.

A rare week of free time between contracts and decided to go deep on AI. What a week to have chosen things are moving so fast 😅

[Rowan Cheung @rowancheung]

The pace of AI continues to amaze me.

It's a full-time job, and I can still barely keep up.

Here's a rundown of the top 5 biggest events in AI last week:

When politicians resort to blaming immigrants, you know they've run out of ideas.
