So we’re clear:

The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.

Awesome sketch by @theaschukken from the talk @thepreviewmode and I presented at @devopsams!

“Early interactions can be profoundly impactful in complex adaptive systems

Simple rules:
1) progress over perfection
2) be kind & candid
3) diversity is valuable”

These simple rules can and do lead to complex interactions and behaviours

@andreasonny83 Glad you liked it!

[Winna Bridgewater @thepreviewmode]

Wow what a compliment. So glad you enjoyed it!

[Crystal Hirschorn @cfhirschorn]

It's so validating and downright amazing to see talks like this reaching the mainstream tech leadership conferences. My favourite talk so far by .@thepreviewmode at #LeadDevLondon. #ResilienceEngineering #HumanFactors

@ANINHAAAC @syntasso 😘 so glad you enjoyed it!

[Ana @ANINHAAAC]

Just attended an incredible talk by Winna Bridgwater @thepreviewmode from @syntasso at #LeadDevLondon! Winna highlighted the importance of embracing complexity in our organizations and provided insights on how to approach learning and recovering when our people systems fail. 🌟

@tom_geraghty Made me think of #dearintern when I read it. Great read!

@tom_geraghty Yes please!

[Winna Bridgewater @thepreviewmode]

People and events and crowds can be tiring for me, but I'm so so glad I had a chance to speak at #WTFisSRE yesterday -- lovely audience, great questions. @containersoli put on a fantastic conference, and I got to see old friends and meet new and interesting folks!

[Container Solutions @containersoluti]

What a brilliant, vulnerable and pragmatic talk from @thepreviewmode at #WTFisSRE.

[Winna Bridgewater @thepreviewmode]

Worlds colliding in a good way. So nice to finally meet @CarlyLRichmond in real life yesterday at #WTFisSRE!

@jkriggins STABILO Cappi makers -- so good!

My five year old learning lean product:
K: “Now can I do glitter glue decoration?”
Me: “Hmm. Every card needs to have who the card is for and who wrote the card.”
K: Big sigh. “*All* I am going to write is To and Love and the names. Then I want to do the glitter glue.”

[Richard Seroter @rseroter]

Platform engineering seems ready for a "maturity model." The talented crew at @syntasso took a swing at this, solicited industry feedback, and has now submitted this model to a CNCF working group.

Give it a read and add suggestions.

Life @syntasso building @kratixio continues to be full of adventures. Come to #WTFisSRE next week in London to hear about the week I imploded our team and how we recovered!

[Container Solutions @containersoluti]

🎶Do you believe in life after... failure?

Speaking at the #WTFisSRE conference in May, @thepreviewmode will share how to foster a culture of blameless learning in her talk “Cultural post mortems: an approach to learning when your people systems fail”.

My fav #KubeConEU piece (so far) is this reflection of what motivates #OpenSource volunteers with @PaulaLKennedy @bongo @mattj_io @annalisag and Max Korbacher, backed by the excellent research of @biancatrink

Just went to a great session with @tom_geraghty on advanced psych safety, which included systems thinking. Yesterday's #rejects2023 talk from @lianmakesthings was top of mind for me. So many good ideas on teams as systems that you need to keep safe.
