@jonlauridsen @Kath_Cooper_ Whether that is a bit of coding, research, product management, learn basic SQL queries for data and analytics, customer interaction etc. You'll develop empathy for the people who actually do the delivery and insight into where things get stuck and how they can be improved.

@jonlauridsen @Kath_Cooper_ Very kind of you @jonlauridsen! For years I was performing the role of a DM without knowing it was an actual job! I've found the best grounding is to get a broad experience of the things people actually do in teams to get stuff done. (1/2)

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone! I will never agree that reading is useless. Reading got me where I am now. I am very pleased that some time in 2019 @SamDLewis challenged me in reading 25 books that year. Feels like that challenge never stopped...

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the British rowing team unexpectedly won the Men’s Eight Rowing gold medal.
One simple question was instrumental in their success.
“Will it make the boat go faster?”
This question could also be vital for your early-stage team & company.

Difficult day today as we had to say goodbye to our King Charles Cavalier, Chester.
Dogs, for a reason that can only be described as divine, have the ability to forgive, let go of the past, and live each day joyously. It’s something the rest of us strive for.

@kornys @kief Yes, we've had success previously using upsource from @jetbrains #PostCommitReview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jetbrains.com/help/upsource/…
English
@kief I've asked elsewhere, but in case this reaches a wider audience - are there any good tools for reviewing a bunch of changes together (apart from PR based ones!)
It'd be nice to have easy ways to look at commits A to B on the trunk, add comments, then flag as "reviewed" somehow.

"Why your team doesn't need pull requests" - I've summed my thoughts on why Continuous Integration is more effective than pull requests for most software development teams in a post: infrastructure-as-code.com/book/2021/01/0…
kief.yml@kief
Pull requests add overhead to cope with low-trust situations, e.g. to allow people you don't know to offer contributions to your project. Imposing pull requests on devs in your own team is like making your family go through an airport security checkpoint to enter your home.
English
@GoodbodyRita I've come to think that in most cases these things are never as bad or as good as either side claims. However, the one thing I hope it doesn't mean is we miss out on more Rita's coming to the UK in future and contributing as much as you have.

10 yrs in UK. A lot happened it was kind of making sense and yet only one day left and we will wake up to a nightmare which might never end. Who is up for a task to manage it? Maybe fail, but then learn and improve on it? I though so, she/he/it is not born yet.#manage #challenge
