My work goal is to bring humanity back in the workplace for the benefit of employees and companies.

My overall goal is to make the world a better and kinder place.

Some values: integrity, authenticity, kindness, fairness, responsibility, honesty, being present..

I am badass and caring 💕

When a Scrum Team says, "We failed this sprint", that’s maturity.
When it says, "You failed", that’s dysfunction.
Shared responsibility creates resilience. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

They are :)

It is also stated in the credits - I work at SVT right now and I asked if any of my colleagues knew :)

Followup: The longer you have been used to equate sex and gender, the harder it *can* be to get used to not do that.

It gets a lot easier if you try to ponder how much of your own gender identity boils down to "but I just know?", and go from there to imagining less certainty (in this case), or… 1/3

"I find it difficult to use singular they"

Ok so what. Try harder.

I wish so many more developers would realise this! The amount of times I've heard "because X told me to" when I've asked why they are making a change is scary. My first lecture at uni, way back in '94, was basically telling a room of students that we should be focused on solving problems.

Sure, our jobs include those things (including the odd breakage in prod), but it's more than that.

As software engineers, we:
- Solve problems
- Deliver value to customers
- Help level up those around us
- Collaborate with our team members
- Communicate clearly in many formats

We are so grateful for members like @abigaildisney.bsky.social who are willing to share their experiences AND speak out about the extreme dangers extreme wealth poses to any society 💕

“I was born into wealth, and wealth just became more wealth. There is a thing as too much wealth, it’s bad for the world and it’s bad for those who own it, it’s alienating and morally corrosive." Abigail Disney at #IMFMeetings.

Infrastructure is like crochet hooks.

If we only ever buy the hooks we are absolutely sure we need, each project can require a lot of work to get started. We might give up rather than go to the store for just the one idea.

When we invest in a set of typical hooks, we end up making way more things.

One challenge I am finding on this campaign: I have great political metaphors that work for very niche audiences.

The flow of money represents the wants and needs of everyone in an economy.

The problem with having billionaires is the same problem as trying to add huge numbers to tiny numbers using floating point.

Except that in this case the “tiny numbers” that get lost are “normal people’s wants and needs”.

UK Govt: "What do you mean trans people are penalised in the UK? They are protected to BE themselves. OK, so we're trying to ban them from toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards, sports, women's groups, hostels, send them to mens prisons and generally dehumanise them.

But they 'can' be trans" 😒

My daughter was annoyed that i generated a picture for my talk yesterday. Normally avoid AI generated images but it was a talk about vibe coding @aifortherestofus.live.

So she drew me an alternative picture. This is a software developer that has replaced their keyboard with a tab button.
