@cybette @_yorch_ There are only so many band t-shirts that can fit in the wardrobe :(
I have Faun, Delain, Cellar Darling along side the new Nightwish album :)

@bruvik What's your favourite time slot for troubleshooting? :D Mine was 3am - early enough that you feel sh*t when you wake up.. late enough to make going back to sleep impossible :(

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

New country, company, role and team.. How hard can this be? :D #Scrum #Agile

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

@jmarieray You are not alone :) Our time will come too! :D

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

@lanettecream Good luck! I'm having dry Feb too! :) My discovery is - colleagues can make it a real pain!

It would be interesting and useful to track burnout index for a 2-3 months and see if there is a correlation to particular piece of work or situation

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

Thank you Twitter app for all the missed notifications and messages from the past few months which I'm getting just now! 🤯

Microservices time with @aledsage @EdinDevOps

[Emiliano Mellino @Mellino]

For the last few months I have been speaking to former employees of one of the darlings of the UK's fintech sector @RevolutApp about what it was like to work there. The picture they painted was grim. This is the story https://t.co/w1a6GdpkQz

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

Whole heartedly agree!

[Jason Yee @gitbisect]

If you work on production systems, you will eventually break prod. That's ok. Everyone eventually breaks prod. Work on fixing it, learning, building better systems/processes.

Knowing that a tech thing exists and might be useful is more important than knowing the syntax for the tech thing.

It's not a #DockerBday party without a cake! 😊

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

Edinburgh @Docker birthday party is off to an interesting magical start with talk about trains, platform 9 3/4 and the simple life provided by Docker and Swarm!

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

Next talk is on dockerprep..'Complete opposite end of the spectrum to the previous talk'.. Existential question: How many opposite ends are there to Docker? #DockerBday

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

@bii @cybette @AnnieDuke I think that would work too ;) I also think those questions should be custom tailored based on the situstion. Do you have self doubting person who needs to commit to a course of action? Or quick action person who acts before they think?

[Micky Drumeva @micky_geeky]

I don't completely agree with this - 'How sure are you?' can also cause the receiving party to doubt themselves more.
'Are you sure?' Isn't great either cause it implies that you don't completely trust the person.. Personally, If I have to ask, I'd use - 'Are you confident?'

[Annie Duke @AnnieDuke]

Instead of asking, “Are you sure? Try asking, “How sure are you?”

“Are you sure” is a yes or no question. It demands unreasonable certainty.

“How sure are you?” allows for shades of gray. It says uncertainty is okay.

How often in a day do you casually ask, “You sure?”
