The @emfcamp blacksmiths have had their forge burgled - all the anvils and welders have been stolen. It's a devastating loss. The insurance won't cover everything. If you love what they do and can afford to spare a little money, please help them out: gofundme.com/f/Urban-Crafts-…

It's almost #Halloween, but if you've been told to leave your pumpkins in the forest as a treat for wildlife, you've been tricked! 🎃 Pumpkins aren't natural to woodlands, and can even make some animals poorly! Why not make a delicious spooky soup for yourself instead? 🍲

Leadership is like gardening. You can’t force a flower to grow. All you can do is give it proper soil, water, nutrients, and sun. With the right combination the flower will grow on its own. Leadership isn’t managing. It’s setting up the right conditions for others to succeed.

Stellar execution of “boring” ideas beat not-so-stellar execution of “great or novel” ideas surprisingly often. A lot of folks in tech tend to lose sight of this.

At the most senior levels of your management and IC tracks the focus should turn to problems over products. You move from thinking of product X to the problem which product X (or its successor) is attempting to solve.

Retweeting @Shell's disgusting behavior all day indeed "costs" some @ethicsinbricks followers. But then there is utilitarianism...😀

Some news: I’ve started a vegan meat business! @brodbox makes vegan meats and charcuterie from restoratively farmed grains and pulses grown in the UK. If you’re in the UK and plant inclined, check it out. I’m biased but it’s damn delicous 🌱 👉🏼

an undervalued superpower for PMs: being nice to people! when you work w/ cross-functional teams & have to spend so much time saying "no" to stakeholders, building rapport & being friendly goes a long way to keeping relationships solid & enabling trust even when things are hard.

Whenever I tell Murphy I feel a bit stressed or situation $thing is so bananas, he brings me a toy. If you’re a bit stressed today, be more like Murphy, find something else to play with. xoxo

I wish more PMs thought of the holistic experience rather than trying to hit KPIs for their singular product
When we think about Developer Experience, we have think beyond a single product. In a Developer's journey, we begin to prioritize the features that are touch points along the larger system.
