@_Evan_Boyle Might be worth playing around with for smaller things! My current Rube Goldberg setup is spec-kit + beads + @doodlestein beads_viewer (more intelligent DAG stuff and visibility) + “orchestrate” agent that spawns subagents to pick off work, validate, log bugs as beads, repeat.

New in /experimental mode in Copilot CLI: "Fleets" 🛸 Run `/fleet` to dispatch parallel subagents to implement your plan. The secret sauce here is a sqlite database per session that the agent uses to model dependency aware tasks and TODOs.

@samososos Congrats on the launch! I’ve been involved on a couple projects that involve authZ and every. Single. Time. I wish there was a service for it. I’m tired of making apps/UIs to manage users, permissions, and roles haha. The interesting part is applying it, not the CRUD 😂

@feelingRadical @stephenanderson i feel like we need an escort referral system. “i’m with @stephenanderson, let me in!!!!!”

I feel validated. Most of my startup ideas are about helping people do what they already do (poorly?), only better. -Use OKRs well -Hold useful meetings -Share knowledge across teams -Support async collaboration -Make better decisions -Ask better interview questions -etc.

@johncutlefish there’s a thread going on in a slack group i’m a part of and this very topic is poking its head in terms of performance reviews. being reviewed by folks who may not understand “higher level” craft enough to properly evaluate performance fairly (in this case staff+ engineering).

@johncutlefish wasn’t looking for it, but literally saw this in “team topologies” looking for something else:

@johncutlefish don't know if it's the right way, but shortly after an acquisition, big co didn't want to "infect" the acquired co with culture. literally told us to not talk to them. they wanted it to go the other way and have the small co infect the big one in a good way at some point

@jamonholmgren can't handle these dad.js

She’s a knockout.js

Today my wife told me I looked svelte. I didn’t know how to react to that.

@LauraBehrensWu my team in paris has their offsites in freaking chateaus 😭

Has anyone started a company to build company retreat/offsite locations just yet? Big spaces that are not hotels with break out areas, center stage for hundreds of people

@HiredThought oh nice, now that it’s fixed, the clicky assessment thing works too (didn’t realize this page had that!)

@HiredThought are the tooltips working for you on this doctrine page? i was trying with a couple browsers thinking that it was some ad blocker, but i don’t see the click/tooltip interaction learnwardleymapping.com/doctrine/

@HiredThought awesome! i just wanted to see the info for “Remove bias and dupliation” and ended up just inspecting the DOM to see the text 😂. but it’s a great page and figured you might just needed a heads up that it wasn’t working. also wasn’t sure if it “was just me”

@johncutlefish pretty much my mom.

@patio11 The other term related to this “diversification over time” thing is “lifecycle investing” (the book). Leverage up when young, deleverage over time.

An interesting company from YC Demo Day which hits a few of my personal/professional interests: financialchoice.com They promise a free lunch, people sensibly say "There is no free lunch!", and I think that for a subset of all possible users there actually probably is one.

@patio11 What is this tactic called? (for Googling) I’ve seen this specific tactic mentioned in the context of Schwab’s Investor Checking account w/ $0 balance. Pay bills using checkings, but use overdraft protection from a brokerage account w/ margin. Paycheck fills the “hole”.

even if you’re not hiring a VP Eng, this is a great article that helps raise your expectations for your engineering org leadership. The best teams i’ve worked with had multiple people who cared about these topics. review.firstround.com/hiring-a-vp-of…

@moubry I heard about your tweet and it made me check it. So if you’re SUPER ONLINE, you got at least one subscriber.

Y’all really had a narrow escape here.

I’ve resigned from my job at Apple where I was managing a team of 9 developers making internal Mac apps and web apps with Swift and Ruby, respectively. It’s the best job I’ve ever had. I’ll really miss the org, full of genuinely good people. ❤️

Shout out to all the PMs out there that just finished the Stories feature spec and now have to move onto the Clubhouse feature spec.

@johncutlefish i also wonder how many product roadmaps and software architectures end up the way they do because of how many boxes fit in a ppt slide

@thedailyem me responding to this tweet a week later is me literally going into “freeze” mode in fight/flight/freeze. i’d rather find other people who are also procrastinating and not do what i’m supposed to be doing, so you’re not alone. but damnit, now that i know i’m not alone…

"I'm struggling with this. Can someone help?" Simple words, but so hard to say! The last three weeks, my "Top 3" priorities haven't moved. And not because they are so big they can't be done in a week - I was just making zero progress. 🧵 alert!

@rohitgupta857 my sneezes are nowhere near as violent as yours — when you described yourself, i could immediately imagine it 😂

@burin a viloent sneezing fit is a bunch of chaos monkeys all going live. I had one while driving with a coffee mug in my hand after just taking a sip. not pretty.

a sneeze is just chaos engineering to see how quickly you can find the mute button, just to make sure you’re still on mute
