I'm done here. Find me at bsky.app/profile/andymo…

@timbray I have a rant that I occasionally go on about the words just and should. Especially the phrase "It should just work." If you're not confident then work it until you are.

In which I urge you to avoid the word “Just” whenever you’re recommending an action. With examples from mental health and software engineering. Also, philology. tbray.org/ongoing/When/2…

@ottomotton @KentBeck As and American, same.

@KentBeck As an European I find it very funny that in NA people are troubled with profanity and boobs, while guns and gore in media is no problem.

During an automatically transcribed meeting I was told that my use of profanity would result in what I said being erased by the transcriber. Legibility run amok. I could have been spouting damaging conspiracy nonsense & been faithfully recorded.

@secos @pkedrosky I hit a similar screen tapping the ping in Twitter client on iOS.

@jeffsussna ah. I figured I must be missing something. Assumptions about the meaning of words bites again. In my defense, assuming a common definition of public and private isn't so off base.

@jeffsussna Not sure I follow. Doesn't everyone in the UK also pay? Can't everyone in the US attend?

@allenholub I've been using those for many years. For exactly the reason you point out.

The "PM" acronym causes all sorts of confusion. Product Manager? Project Manager? Program Manager? How about we all start using PdM, PjM, and PgM? Untangle a lot of crossed signals.

@JoshuaKerievsky Did you no bid the RFP?

What I read in an RFP today: "Deliver at least 200 Story points per iteration (A Story Point is equal to about 1 developers’ day of work, the calculation assumes a developer will deliver 8 story points of development per two-week iteration)."

@pkedrosky 12c sounds pleasant. It was about 4c this AM when we went out. Still lots of shorts. A few beanies and gloves. The vert looks rough getting it all in single climb like that. Enjoy!

@iamAtheistGirl Best bit starts at about 1:00 youtube.com/watch?v=P5ZOwN…

@ERolfPleiss Productivity Hack. Skip the shave.

@jeffsussna @phamousphil I'll admit to Type 2 with the possibility of tipping into Type 3 with a few of my activities.

125 miles through a volcanic continental rift?? Sign me up, this seems like a good excuse to go back to Iceland 🇮🇸😁🚴 therift.bike

@phamousphil @jeffsussna I believe they call this Type 2 Fun. rei.com/blog/climb/fun…

@jeffsussna No, it’s madness.

@mattbarcomb yeah. Never been good at that.

@phamousphil Maybe only 50% of the sheets have macros, but yeah, about right

Fortune 500 folks back me up here #prodmgmt #tech #excel #globaleconomy #productmemes

@jeffsussna And not a very good one if you keep doing it.

@evanrobertsnz Ran by there with a friend who lives in that neighborhood. She said they're supposed to be done in time. Getting close.

Do they know they have to be done by Sunday? Or is this the new 19.3 mile wall and drinks stop? #tcmarathon

@jeffsussna @Cuisinart Just saw they have a popcorn maker. Have you tried that yet? cuisinart.com/shopping/appli…

@hjluks @KenBurns I haven't yet. But he talked a bit about his process and how they made updates even after they sent the "final" to PBS so it doesn't surprise me. The podcast is a good listen.

@andymorgan @KenBurns Have you watched it ? He raises the parallels quite clearly at the end

One must wonder… did @KenBurns release his Holocaust special so we don’t forget … or instead to emphasize how those same forces are at work now. Or both…
