Small group of us at work did this--developers, dev ops folks, and a few folks more in the Scrum/Agile PM/PO space like myself. It was a good experience. The appetite for ethical thinking and decision making I've found outside of academia is encouraging.

In output-first planning, present is clearer than future: we only know roughly what features we will build in Q4 but here are our Q1 user stories

In outcome-first planning, future is clearer than present: our Q4 goals are set, in Q1 we will look for the right paths to reach them

The moment that my team dreamed of for years, now a reality. Dare mighty things.

So this week marks a year since I left academia to join the "dark side" - industry (biotech).

Thought I'd share a few observations (1/6)

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

Gone way too soon. All of the things he did in films since 2016, all while fighting the disease...you really never know what someone is going through.

@rachiestar There are apps that can do this like https://t.co/znbrL0h2rN. This one https://t.co/kAXACxagDO has a free chrome extension.

Is there anyone writing or teaching about law using Afro-futurism as a lens? Or a collection of essays on the topic?

I’m feeling in my bones the need to write a piece putting Octavia Butler or N K Jemisin in conversation with political theorists and legal philosophers.

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

@mpigliucci Learnworlds has an interesting model. How's it been working with them?

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

@mpigliucci Fun to pull apart in class though, sometimes. Good argumentation exercise.

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

@jesqa_ Absolutely. I was lucky to meet and talk with one of mine on a couple of occasions. Iris Marion Young was as generous a person as she was a kick ass political philosopher. True giant.

@cedric_p Took a class on ancient philosophy as an undergrad. It was harder than anything I’d ever done to that point and I got hooked on the challenge.

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

@wormmaps If we’re thinking of books read for pleasure or general interest rather than for research then Scale, by Geoffrey West; The Information, by James Gleick; Hidden Reality by Brian Green are the first three that come to mind.

[Steven Patterson @seventanterpost]

@babblist The one on the right was the first step I took down the path of dissertation research. :)

@JenMHessler @d_kompare Agree 100% that the current system of assessing the viability programs within universities needs a lot of work, but would put in that I think it's less about rank in the profession (which matters, but not as much as we tend to think), and more about internal accounting. (2/2)
