Just got the best gift from my wife and kid…. A new sticker that I have been waiting for my whole adult life.
The most perfect sticker in the shape of a generic raffle ticket. The ticket is numbered “827830” and says “⭐️SHIT⭐️ SHOW” in bold letters and “ADMIT ONE” in smaller text underneath. This is my own personal ticket to the SHIT SHOW. I feel like I’ve finally made it. I always knew I needed to go The mayhem just continues to grow I’ve waited my turn for a ticket Now I know just where to stick it Finally got my ticket, to the shit show

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

I’ve heard this a lot. But mostly from Gen X folks. This is equivalent to the before times when an experienced person moved into a leadership role with a really awesome team. You had the experience to know what ‘good’ looked like and a team that could do more at a faster pace than you could alone.

I really like this distinction. Tool for a task vs. replacement for creative process.

Here are some of the things we learned during this project, about each other and about making a book.
Merry Meet: Monktoberfest and Book Launch
Don't let anyone tell you creative collaboration requires co-presence. Last week was the first time in at least 7 years that all four Progressive Delivery authors were in the same place at the same time. In that time, we identified a pattern happening in the world, named it, honed our understanding, and wrote a whole book about it. The Progressive Delivery book releases in just under a month (

Your users aren't lazy, change-averse, or technologically backward. They're intelligent people managing complex workflows where stability matters. They're making rational decisions with limited change capacity.

Build delivery systems that work with them, not against them.

#Monktoberfest was the first time all four authors were together since we started writing this book. Pictures were taken of this magic, but not by me.

Anyway, pre-orders are love, and you can support your local bookshop from ordering here: bookshop.org/p/books/prog...

This week we gave away almost 100 fully-signed #ProgressiveDelivery books while we were at #Monktoberfest, and even more than that at #ETLS25 (but fewer signatures).

We are exactly one month from release day!

And look at this pre-order sales ranking!
A screencap of the “Amazon Hot New Releases” page for Project Management. The cover for the Audible version of the Progressive Delivery book is listed at #1. It is also cheap to pre-order, only $14 or one Audible credit.

I got ya.
A group of four adults stands closely together indoors, smiling and laughing as they pose for a photo. From left to right: the first person has bright pink hair, glasses, and wears a dark, patterned jacket over black pants, holding a camera in their right hand. The second person has dark hair pulled back and wears a denim shirt under a navy jacket with flared blue jeans and brown boots, holding a drink. The third person wears a light gray cap, reflective sunglasses on their head, a bright teal puffer jacket, khaki pants, and orange sneakers. The fourth person has long, light brown hair and glasses, wearing a tan and black zip-up jacket with black pants and sneakers. Behind them, other people mingle in a well-lit, covered space with white beams, wood paneling, and a large window showing a view of water and distant land outside. The group appears happy and casual, enjoying a social event.
