Designing for collaboration in an existing product is a hairy challenge. Last year at @Contentful we asked our key customers how they collaborated while managing content. We wanted to know what happens from the moment a piece of content is planned until it’s retired. Sit tight.
It would be an understatement to say that walking around #balos with over 40 km/h winds, an overly excited wife and baby daughter, and a goat, was quite spectacular 🐐 @ Balos Lagoon instagram.com/p/CU3JeslsUTi/…

Software engineers aren’t going to be the leaders of the future.
Folks who can look someone in the eye and build rapport and sell themselves and their ideas will.
Learn to communicate if you want to set yourself apart.
The next generation is severely lacking in this area.

I recently obsessed about Thielenbrücke. It’s the only Kreuzkölln bridge that survived the war and it had a tram line until 1964. It was made of wood during its first two decades. It’s now 126 years old. Photo taken… instagram.com/p/CAGHb0_qDGZ/… – at Berlin, Germany

2. How to tame my perception of reality
3. How to cope with loss and failure – at Berlin, Germany
