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.
“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

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. 🌟
.@kirederik and @thepreviewmode, both Principal Engineer at Syntasso, have not one but two sessions on platform building prepared for us. Just your jam? Join us in June: https://t.co/hjTdDaYw6Z
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!
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.”
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!
🎶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”.

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.
