@andeepittmanux I’m curious too!

[Thomas Hoy @thomasfhoy]

@jcstorozuk @honeygolightly Great idea!

I don't see how you can design a complete architecture before you start building. The simplicity principle is at play here. At any given moment, the system has exactly enough architecture to implement the current set of stories. 1/5

@lisavation @quidampepin Wouldn’t that be considered an improvement to the user experience?

[Thomas Hoy @thomasfhoy]

@lisavation @quidampepin Hey Lisa, I just read the report you linked in the other thread. I’m thinking this through… images have no effect task completion. So IF an image contributed to a less clinical feeling page (big if), and had no impact on task success…

It’s hard to believe it, but C4C was born five years ago today! 🎉 It’s been quite the journey and we couldn’t have done it without you. To celebrate, we’ll be sharing special moments and we want you to join us! Let us know about a memory you have with us using #C4Cturns5

@quidampepin Appreciate @mrpaulcraig for the blog posts which I read voraciously and @quidampepin for engaging and providing the opposing viewpoints

[Thomas Hoy @thomasfhoy]

@quidampepin Loving this thread as it is basically what ping pongs through my head on a daily basis. Thought I pretty much had it figured out (strategy = delivery) but unfortunately, recent experience has shown me it isn’t that simple.

My current working definition of "(tech) modernization" that avoids the exploitable ambiguity that is the root of so much bad:

2 buckets

1. Changes to better serve the unmet needs we see in the system today

2. Changes that make *similar* changes lower-effort in the future

@audreyeassad Are we saying they are ugly? Cause if so yes I agree 100%

If you're sharing videos and photographs from Ukraine with accountability in mind, please make an effort to share them with links to the source you're using, it greatly assists organisations who are verifying conflict incidents.

@afhill Your new government will recovery as per their procedures? What new government?

[Thomas Hoy @thomasfhoy]

@sidramatik Oh no! Hope you’re ok.
