One of my coworkers was writing about "paralysing" some work today when she actually meant "parallelizing" and I think that's funny

Combined with my classic (and cheap ;) BIC 4 color pen, this might actually work to keep everything in one place. And #BackToAnalog is my thing anyway :)
I'll post an update after a month of use and a second one after 6 months to tell you how it worked out for me.

Time for a treat: I also ordered the weekly planner. It might help me with my chaotic time management. It has separate pages to store posti-ts for Backlog, a Best of Done page, a 12 month habit tracker and a Think Tank page. I like!

After reading a bit more: the notebooks are made in Europe, with traditional bookbinding technique. Zettelweise is a company located in Cologne, Germany. So yeah, seems to be a good choice to buy from them :)

Interesting. Kanban in your pocket :) A notebook (they also have weekly planners) with sticky notes and a simple kanban board to stay focused. Gonne give it a try! (Site seemingly only available in German)

I'm my working role I run #Agile teams. We change and iterate all the time to reach our goal. We make mistakes and learn, adapt. We discuss and change, disagree, change, make mistakes, change. It works well. Why can't that be accepted in our #government too? Run by humans like me, like us?
Original post from May/11:
I just discovered I got blocked by somebody whose opinion and posts I highly value.
Since can't imagine (or remember) which interaction might have triggered this course of action, I tried to reconstruct our last interaction(s) from web searches, and discovered the following:
(a) This is practically impossible to find past interaction with specific accounts.
(b) A couple of other accounts *I* have been following formerly which now block me without me remembering any untowards interaction with them.
This all makes me unexpectedly sad.
I think I'll put in another Mastodon moratorium for an indeterminate length of time.
Looking back, Mastodon did not really work for me, with what I'd term "meaningful" connections. This is very likely the way my mind works.
If anybody can recommend communities related to #lisp, #agile, #softwareengineering or #infosec, I'd appreciate if you could reply or DM. I am still missing connection there (after 2.5 years of Fedi, which should tell me something).
----
Part of the problem (of not being able to reconstruct interaction) is, that all my posts are set to auto-delete after 1 week.
TIL: This has disadvantages.

(Why repeat this? For pinning. I got an unfortunate case of Fediplaining in reply to the original post, and I want to drop that)
I have let Information Radiators fall off my toolkit in the last few years. I need to fix that.

Ford: "We run most of that on our own GPUs. We have Nvidia GPUs. We have a few thousand. Five, six years ago, we moved everything to the cloud, except high-performance compute. GPU compute in the cloud has been crazy expensive and also just difficult to get. I don’t blame them for charging that much. Sometimes it just wasn’t available. It’s like Taylor Swift tickets. We’ve been fortunate having thousands of our own GPUs."

A Simple Guide To Scrum?
Danke an @StefanRoock für den Austausch und den Hinweis und an @thomas_michl für die Anregung zu ShuHaRi.
Was sagt ihr? Ist Scrum so simpel? Wie wachst ihr über Scrum hinaus?

The SLAP #Agile planning process https://slap.pm/
There is nothing particularly #agile about it, it's just building iteratively.
Which humans have done for tens of thousands of years.
I mean, knock yourself out.
Was denkt ihr über das neue Scrum Guide Expansion Pack?
• Es bringt eine klare Rolle für Stakeholder und Supporter ins Spiel, um Teams besser zu unterstützen.
• Der Fokus verschiebt sich von Output zu Outcome – ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung für wertorientierte Produktentwicklung!
„Wir wollen Scrum ergänzen und konkretisieren, nicht neue Regeln einführen.“

I may be biased, but I really feel if our schools had classes on Project Management the world would be a better place.
There is a lot of conflict between developers who say #LLM tools are making them more productive, and developers who want to quit and move to a cabin in the woods.
Recently I discovered a possible reason why. #AI is just a bad fit for conventional, reality-based models of value creation like #Agile. But those who practce the Brazilian methodology eXtreme Go Horse are able to seamlessly integrate these tools into their workflow.

#Agile Development was invented in the Soviet Union.
In my STEM studies, the content is typically objective, factual, mechanical, and devoid of humanity.
More recently, first through #leanthinking, and then into #agile, #systemsthinking, #industrialengineering, I've come to realize that engineering with humanity creates progress for everyone, for the long term.
Thinkers like Galbraith, Follett, and Matthews show us a fair path, showing the bigger picture and putting humanity over profits.
IMHO, @debcha belongs in that same pantheon.

No #cheese today, my followers have gone away
The stream that once was vibrant now is quiet, grey
They couldn’t stand the truth of #AgileCheese
They left behind their #agile dreams with ease
But Ranzinger stands where the cheese still flows
Where iteration sings and innovation grows
So follow now, don’t miss the feast
The future’s shaped with agile #cheese! #FollowTheCheese #CheesyBallad
