I thought quite a bit about this extension of Conway's Law, which is taking the flexibility of the system under change into account. Here are some unsorted and maybe random thoughts from my experience of doing an inverse Conway maneuver on a larger scale at Flix. #SoftwareDesign

Part of me is shocked by this. Part of me thinks it sounds like bliss.

“Banks blocking internet access from the corporate network is actually blocking learning for their employees on modern development technology and practices in a work context.” Interesting observation from @matthewpskelton of @TeamTopologies. Thanks for a great meetup @devopsmanc

[Matthew Skelton @matthewpskelton]

Superb set of questions to ask about incidents shared by @srwestons about Blameless Postmortems in her @devopsmanc talk.

"There can be a direct link between incidents in production and a company's bonus incentive scheme" 💰➡💥

[Matthew Skelton @matthewpskelton]

Aha! Check out this talk by @andyburgin at @devopsmanc : "Curating a Platform Experience"

Really excellent details on how and why a focus on Developer Experience (DexEv/DX) is essential.

Hey @ Web Developers/QA's involved with sites that take payments - if your site doesn't support plus signs (+) in email addresses, having it blow up with a generic error after the payment attempt (which may or may not have failed) is a pretty shitty UX for saying so.

DevRel pro-tip 1: Never start a session proposal with "How $PRODUCT allows you to do $THING."

DevRel pro-tip 2: If you refuse to listen to pro-tip 1, never follow with "This will be a demo..."

No conference wants a product pitch session.

We all have bad days.

@IKEAUKSupport @WockComble @IKEAUKSupport I'm afraid your messaging around this is totally confusing.

You seem to suggest that there's going to be some kind of conversation is going to occur. The text message we've received saying "cancellation and refund of your order" does not suggest that.

OH: we had a nice fast monolith on tomcat and now we have 40 ‘cloud native’ things that are even more siloed, are using more memory, more storage, and are less efective...

Well at least you get to speak at conferences.

A few days in the capital does wonders for your step count.

Unfortunately the increase in your calorie intake is proportional 🍕🍖🍰
