Agile today: Learn a process in order to achieve success Agile as I learned it: Create a process from what we learn about how to succeed. Effective delivery isn't about following a process, it's about solving for what's needed for THESE people in THIS context as both change.

Farewell Twitter. It's been something to see/be part of, but I'm not sorry to leave this service behind. I actually like the idea of the smaller, more managed federated model anyway. I might even get into why at @logosity@discuss.systems Thanks everyone.

Merry Christmas @nflnetwork style: cut to commercial instead of showing the Franco Harris commemoration highlight reel, the LITERAL REASON the game is on tonight. Gotta get those commercial $$$ tho! utter fail.

Should I run Twitter ?

@gfredericks_ Winnie the Pooh has the North Pole. He used it to rescue piglet & now mostly uses it for limbo practice. The South Pole is a prop in those bad Jäegermeister commercials! The east pole is where electrons collect & the west pole is what Dorothy really used to defeat the witch! 😉

I'm a bit perplexed as to where this one came from.

@HenryT those are laser train tracks showing the path of the reality train headed his way.

Also what is he looking at that his eye-lasers (yeah I can’t believe I typed that either) are pointing in two different directions

@gfredericks_ Oh, I think I know this one! If there’s a tree and the sun—while clinging to it, kept moving such that as the earth went round the tree, the sun stayed on the opposite side of the trunk, then I believe the squirrel would go round all three of them. Right?

How many of us can truly claim to know which way the earth goes around the sun?

@gigasquid Right?

Can't wait for the ChatGPT hype to die down

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if being “outcome focused” means your org is focused on how to ensure people are using your preferred product management tools, instead of, say realizing the value of the items being tracked, you might want to rethink that.

yes and also true for processes too!

@gfredericks_ words will word.

I pointed out that it was wrong and it immediately conceded both points. I then asked for other interesting facts, and it made up more obviously-false ones.

Can't see anything to object to here.

Ok so I enjoy this joke a lot too, but the actual history behind this is a bit more complicated and honestly illuminating in its wackiness. Let's talk about Roman calendars! So why do the 'number months' (Sept-Dec) not correspond to their numbers (7-10)? 1/

@kimlehtinen @kelseyhightower Similar for me, but in practice "all" turns into "all that make testing hard"--which isn't always everything, but incrementally trends toward the same spot.

@logosity @kelseyhightower I tend to put all code that is interacting with external processes behind my own interfaces. This way my own code can always be unit tested, even if libraries/implementations change. This requires more work, and is smth that works for me. It isn't for everyone.

@BradWarner @pearly_sinner …and I imagine you, so I don’t have to apologize. ;-)

@pearly_sinner The more I sink into it, the more I have to reluctantly admit that I may be the source of everything. Then I want to apologize profusely all the time.

When you read that observer & observed are one & the same, that teaching (observed) is telling you (observer) that you and it (the teaching, aka this Tweet you’re reading now) are exactly the same thing.

@davefarley77 Everything that is wrong with our industry.

What first comes to mind go when I say... "Full stack developer"? 👇

@tirsen mebbe a sigmoid curve decline: Starts slow, then declines exponentially as problems compound, then the dregs live on for decades.

This thing is certainly holding up longer than I expected…
