@omarsar0 Great post, Addy. Have you shared more details about your "writer agent"? I've been trying to figure out common sense tips for using Claude to draft clear, readable technical documents meant for humans.

@lissijean Hi Melissa, I like this one for balancing development of new features vs. defects vs. tech debt and the resulting affects on delivery speed. https://t.co/GSssDTNyxw

@ezraklein @onbeing @seanmcarroll A lot of good recommendations. I appreciate @tferriss for his skills as an interviewer. He can dig under the surface with a focus on productivity and personal habits. The @RealHughJackman interview stands out. https://t.co/XqqXfMpdX3

@BruneElections Strange but only 400 people live in that county. Hard to extrapolate a voting pattern.

Try to do something this week to help someone else in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It will make you feel better. And it will be a small but measurable step in helping heal our world.

This book blew my teenage mind.

Did you know the biggest impediment to agility in your organisation is likely the way initiatives are funded, and their sponsors' performance measured and rewarded? A simple test is to try and synchronise dependencies by creating an ordered backlog across 2 inter-dependent teams.

Brexit has reached the part of a waterfall software development process where two years in you realise you aren't going to hit the deadline, your architectural assumptions were all wrong, and no-one wants what you built anyway

Excellent roundtable discussion at #GartnerDA hosted by @Doug_Laney on monetization and measurement of data. Read his book - Infonomics.

more predictability in sw development is achieved through:

- smart slicing for value

- early and regular feedback

- refactoring to minimise complication

- spiking to reduce uncertainty

- continuous improvement

NOT more guessing about how long you think something might take

This is a very true statement ...
