I've been taking a break from work for the last few weeks, so missed much of the brouhaha over the McKinsey developer productivity article. But I'm sure that I could not write a better response than this one from @tastapod

@RailService Die SBB mit den zwei Gesichtern. Einerseits die vielen, freundlichen, menschlichen Kontakte in den Zügen und am Bahnhof. Auf der anderen Seite die unmenschlichen, starren, digitalen Abläufe, Webseiten mit wirren Fehlermeldungen. Wohin führt dies?

Sometime in 2001, I walked into a Radio Shack on San Francisco's Market Street and asked for a Cuecat: a handheld barcode scanner that looked a bit like a cat and a bit like a sex toy. The clerk handed one over to me and I left, feeling a little giddy. I didn't pay a cent. 1/

@trondhuso @rachsmithtweets @shanselman It actually works like that. We got notified when my stepdad fell badly a year ago. And the emergency services got notified too, could talk to him and pick him up. I was quite impressed.

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.

You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.

Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠

Simple Rules function at many levels. Constraints help people know which decisions they can make and which require a conversation.

I wonder what would happen if ppl stopped talking about "planned & unplanned" work and talked about "anticipated & emergent" work.

@johncutlefish I thought this blog by @schwartz_cio was a really great discussion about framing and discussing technical debt at the executive level https://t.co/Q2s1lWyvsa

When software development organizations scale (up) they assume that getting more people increases the capacity to do work. Too often the increased number of people increases the capacity to *start* work leading to more work in progress, longer queues and thus longer lead time.

@johncutlefish Why do we feel so vulnerable when showing others our work?

@johncutlefish @peteskomoroch The 'Office Space' theory...

Peter: I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob: I beg your pardon?
Peter: Eight bosses.
Bob: Eight?
Peter: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it.

The quest to bring antitrust law to bear against tech companies is finally paying off, but it's been a long, hard slog. At the vanguard have been two legal scholars: Columbia law's @linamkhan and Yale's @DinaSrinivasan.

Number 40

A car battery permanently on charge. On the kitchen table. Sparking and giving off fumes that made the dog wobble. And leaking sulphuric acid.
