Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?

The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Package tracking is a completely confabulated jumble of words to keep me pacified, right? "Arrived at departure airport" great, that part's important. "Scanned at sorting facility" I feel a single dopamine molecule spinning around the active site like a dropped saucer.

It is still guesses at the end of the day. But it is better to have some model than a perfect model.

Better to have no estimates than wrong estimates.

To be on time 100% of the time we need to multiple the estimates by a factor of six.

Software development may be a foreign country for the business. To gain trust we need accountability.

Conferences are so much more than learning at talks and workshops: it is meeting other people and sharing experiences, it is hanging out with old friends, it is making new friends... so many things in one...

And today a special shout out to @sebrose.bsky.social for listening when I needed it 💕

People think software development is about writing code. It is not!

It is about:

Communication
Collaboration
Simplicity
Courage
Respect

#agilecam and now, the closing off one gigantic feedback loop.
James Shore, co-author of the first agile book I read, years ago, The Art of Agile Development, and whom I've followed ever since.

It's great to hear in person for the first time

Still not back in the habit of live posting from conferences :)

I started the day at a talk by @swardley.bsky.social that I have partly seen before and got new insight once again :)

Next I got new insights in a workshop about using cross-functionality to drive change :)

I always enjoy hearing @tdpauw.bsky.social talk :)

This time he is talking about non-blocking code reviews.

He always provides great insight on technical topics and new ways to get better code quality :)
