Exploring Mastodon. You can find me there @cornazano@hachyderm.io.

RT @sogrady: best i can tell, most mastodon servers are run on a purely volunteer basis, and when you raise this as an issue people say "it…

If your team hates retrospectives, you might want to think about if they are really working as a team or are more loosely coupled employees doing their own thing. I have seen this so many times. Start with building the team rather than finding new ways of doing retros.

@shelbyspees I don't think we've crossed paths there yet. I just started exploring there and finding people over the weekend.

@eikonne @HiredThought I'm not familiar with his work. If I add something to my reading-options list for the future, anything in particular you'd recommend?

@HiredThought @cornazano If you have not read Jonathan Rauch's work in this space, you might find it thought-provoking.

Canceling is in many ways the modern-day equivalent of killing people for saying something we don't agree with or like. Now we kill the individual, socially.

@kevinriggle @HaysKali Eighty-hour coding interview, final presentation must be in bullet points and screen captures.

@ReinH Maybe he should try mixing it up a bit? Tell them to work off and... oh, you know what? Nevermind.

at this point he's basically out of ideas

imagine thinking you could understand twitter's systems, engineer performance, or literally anything by looking at some code snippets

@richburroughs @ReinH That should be considered NSFW. At least, in most workplaces.

@eikonne Me: *raises hand*

We can’t see what we can’t see. But who wants to accept that they are blind to certain things?

@StevenShorrock @rob_england Same. I'm trying to figure out how to curate my feed there. I discovered last week that there's a sorting option for the feed to get recent (rather than top) posts, which is making it easier for me to see what's noise that I want to cut.

@rob_england I should probably unfollow all en masse then start from scratch (if I knew how to do that). But the short form of Twitter is just far more appealing to me (and the irreverence and no link to CV)

In case you were thinking of sloping off to LinkedIn. Expect this kinda thing plus posts about inconsequential stories of the minutia of life, leading to revelations about their own profesional brilliance.

@eikonne anyway, tech debt is a sacrifice decision: you are sacrificing a lower priority or value goal to achieve a higher priority or value goal. sacrifice decisions are ubiquitous in business.

@richburroughs Trending is cursed, methinks...

RT @anothercohen: I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices. Elon just call…

Humbled. Probably one of the most amazing pieces of feedback I've received in my career, from someone who helped me learn how to lead. 💜

@Valkendorm @flybayer Still miss working with you, and learning together how to make changes safely in our systems!

@flybayer Great leadership and mentoring from @cornazano helped me understand myself, and build my self-confidence.

Who has had the biggest impact in your career?

@jpaulreed @ahidalgosre Organization X, where the learning is made up and the incidents don't matter?

@ahidalgosre And for some organizations, it's difficult to learn with incidents, amiright?!?!!!

@norootcause Blackletter. Bonus points for scanning your own calligraphic hand from parchment.

Which font should I use for my code to maximize its hardcore-ness? (Monospaced is a plus, but not required)

@richburroughs I've seen at least one that was non-disruptive. It involved a certain amount of abdication of responsibility on the part of some mid-to-senior managerial folks.

@ReinH @kartar The one enjoying a nice relaxing day of exhausting the supply of adaptive capacity?

@kartar guess which one is me
