@HotCupOfTeaPls @acconf I did remember the #WorryWall columns. Wondering why….

[Rob Westgeest @westghost]

@HotCupOfTeaPls' agile on the bench session at @acconf on two tools to shorten feedback team loops mentioned two walls (wall of worries and wall of awesome). What where the columns (and correct name) of the latter wall ?

Holiday with the girls. Look what they still use.

Posted: GitOps is a placebo https://t.co/KAcJYjIluu

Why #GitOps:

1. is just a rebadging of #ContinuousDelivery and #InfraAsCode ideas
2. has no new ideas of substance
3. contains 'best practices' that won't always work
3. offers no benefits that can't be achieved without GitOps

Want to build better roadmaps? Come along to @mostalive and @marcevers discussion session to learn from others - "How do you map your roads?" - at June's Agile Cambridge conference. One of 30 great sessions. https://t.co/kgvTOjU1Bu - #agilecam

[Martin Fowler @martinfowler]

If you're looking for a well-regarded book on what object-orientation is really about, from folks who really know this stuff - then you can't beat this book. So it's wonderful that you can get such a great book as a free PDF download.

@codemanship There should be an ‘however’ or a though somewhere in the above

[Rob Westgeest @westghost]

@codemanship Of course it’s not their decision. Developers, referring to two weeks of redesign/rewrite as refactoring, make people around them frightened of the term.

[Rob Westgeest @westghost]

@allenholub It’s not an adoption Alan..... it’s a transition ;-)

[Rob Westgeest @westghost]

@pauldyson Wonder whether and where there are loops in this system.

[Rob Westgeest @westghost]

In a world full of opinions and statements, I really like @mattwynne regularly asking questions #appreciation

Published a post on test driving a command line interface in python. https://t.co/Cu4WYNo0Rq

@mattwynne @mathiasverraes @natpryce @sf105 In your solution domain, how are the things named that you put in there? By what are you taking them out. In other words what is the intent of the thing in the solution domain?
