@jonobri @yimbymelbourne This is so good. A huge amount of work and a beautifully presented result.

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@cmkusher @hillfolkAU We’d love to know what metrics are on your wishlist. How about another chat with the Neoval team?

[dan nolan @dannolan]

I have posted a few times on here "you should be worried about your next job" the past few weeks, I decided to actually put my thoughts together into an argument about what I've seen and where I think things could be going

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@dannolan Great piece Dan, articulates a bunch of things I’m feeling but haven’t got a real grip on yet

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@dannolan Oh no way, was thinking of him earlier this week. So sad.

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@joneaves One of my teams raised the same idea recently, but more as an optional social thing for improving the WFH team vibe - didn’t occur to us to think of it as training for collaboration. I’d be super keen to hear how it goes for you.

@joshuajames @johncutlefish @cwodtke OKRs are not an alignment tool.

They’re good for surfacing alignment, and for getting a handle on positive misalignment (opportunities and necessities from the bottom-up), but actually aligning work is entirely different thing.

Lean leadership: aligning sense-making (having a clear strategy people can understand) with meaning-making (letting people find their place in the strategy) and capability-building to make it all possible

@IllyBocean Listened to From the Gallery of Sleep by Night Verses a bunch while reading Tom Sweterlitsch’s The Gone World and even a few years later the association between the music and imagery is super vivid, like even a passing thought about one instantly conjures the other

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@GordyPls As in, it’s kind of implied that we’ll take a call unless it’s particularly inconvenient.

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@GordyPls 2, but “arranged” by messaging ahead in the same way that the first sentence of a phone call is “hey, got a sec?” Our video calls are fully normalised, but we’re (strangely?) polite about it.

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@willmenaker absolutely hell yes

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@YourFondestLove Definitely rad. We pull multiple release note feeds into Slack, sometimes jumping on and integrating a new feature as soon as announced. But the RSS format and (for some) just the availability of an RSS feed isn’t consistent.

@danjim @samwe11er @REA_Group @m1k3_br33z3 @cagey135 @2metres @brian This is a work of art.

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@marrowing Sorry, misremembered ingredients. I’ve got one that is mostly black beans, and a more oily one without Sichuan pepper. That store looks like the go though. Thanks!

[Matt Gay @mttgy]

@marrowing Where did you buy it? I can only seem to find the variations with beans, peanuts etc

Remembering John Fahey, born 80 years ago today. Here he is playing "Red Pony" in 1969.

Product has been glorified. What they don't tell you:

1. Your job is to say "no" to distracting ideas. People will often be frustrated with you.

2. When things break, you're accountable. Get ready to bite the bullet.

3. Designing new products is a small part of what you'll do.

[Julian Friedman @doctor_julz]

What’s after Serverless and Containerless and Orchestratorless? Deployless. The next logical step of Continuous Deployment is no Deployment. No staging environments, no release process: just feature flags, progressive rollout and in-prod testing
