We are considering publishing audiobook versions of Jerry’s most popular works, starting with Becoming a Technical Leader and Secrets of Consulting. If audiobook versions of these books were released, would you buy them? @JerryWeinberg

@estherderby is the author of 7 Rules for Positive Productive Change, co-author of Agile Retrospectives and runs several incredible courses, including Problem-Solving Leadership and Coaching Beyond the Team (both are now co-hosted with Don Gray).
OH:
Guess I’ll start a flame war on what’s left of Twitter.
Well, that was useless. EM is burning the people (and thereby the platform) to the ground.
Welcome to extractive capitalism.

If you're feeling lonely this holiday, just tweet "if you can't push to prod on thanksgiving you're not a real devops" and a whole community of people will keep you company.
Some presenters/topics are like that.
I remember in the 2000s driving 2 hours each way to hear @PragmaticAndy speak for an hour.
I will be there! The topic doesn’t matter…
Watching Paint Dry?
Venkat:
Here’s a functional way to do it that is more efficient!
Have you considered a DSL to simplify the work?
And.. why haven’t you written tests to make sure it’s dry?

Holy shit. Republicans are livid that the hashtag #ProtectMySocialSecurity is now trending at number 9. Please RT and use it below to make it number 1!
I don’t know how mastodon.social might have anticipated the incoming load. So how could they invest as a non-profit?
#AsMyDaddy said … put your money where your mouth is. Today I joined patreon to support mastodon.social

Earlier to day @PragmaticAndy and I talked about #systemsthinking archetypes. One of which is Growth and Underinvestment.

Planning poker is the current incarnation of wideband delphi estimation.
The purpose involves generating an estimate by sharing different viewpoints and understandings.
As mentioned, eventually the team moves beyond this point, so why spend the time estimating?
Blast from the past: found several packs of Planning Poker (R) packs in my drawer. The last time I used these were in 2013.
Planning Poker was surprisingly fun+useful with a brand new team where none of us were on the same page on many things. Past that phase, it became tedious.

Sadly, I won’t live to see it.
X : What do you think will be the craziest invention of the next century?
Me : Do you mean like fusion, general purpose AI, teleportation?
X : Yep.
Me : 100 years? Hmmm ,.. it's a bit far fetched but I'll go for it. Working calendar invites between Google, Apple and MSFT.

The next time you hear someone blame inflation on stimulus checks that Americans got almost two years ago, remind them that corporate profits are at a 70-year-high.
Context matters.
so get your calendar!
I do not receive any remuneration for this, beyond enjoying the comic strip.
Today's strip o' the day.
And a blatant plug that the 2023 Pearls calendar is now available: tinyurl.com/2kfhtrwb
Seriously. Don't like our current politics? Vote them all out. ALL!
