Jail time and fines for Australians wanting to come home? Seriously? I’m horrified that the Morrison government thinks this is an acceptable response to the humanitarian crisis in India.
This is a terrible and dangerous precedent. And needs to be called out.

Think. There is a high probability that if an Australian resident caught in India gets COVID they will be unable to get effective medical and hospital treatment. Doesn’t Govt have a responsibility to organise mercy flights with quarantine on arrival?

Estimation...it’s not about the size you arrive at but the discussion that you have when you do

Men of tech: if you _really_ care to help equal the playing field for women in tech TAKE YOUR FULL PATERNITY LEAVE
Oh you don't want to because you might miss that big release or promotion or bonus? Well guess what? Women don't have the choice. That's where we come in.

#Agile #NoEstimates: we believe the future will yield surprises, therefore we must be ready to change (substantially) any plans
Waterfall: we believe we can know the future well enough to make BIG BETS based on those plans
Which is more likely to reflect reality? #NoEstimates

Happy Ada Lovelace Day. Women don’t just belong in tech. They invented it. Here’s to all the women in STEM doing pioneering work today. #AdaLovelaceDay #women #tech en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_…

Fixed scope is an illusion. Even the interpretation of the written text evolves over time (assuming you try not to change the document).
Focus your project on outcomes, not scope. On time / on scope projects can be failures too!

In this special edition of #ByThoughtWorks we're celebrating women in STEM on Ada Lovelace day with thought-provoking talks on challenging the status quo, staying true to oneself and overcoming prejudice. Join us in #Brisbane on Tuesday 8 October bit.ly/2mjIhsp

Shorter stories get you to value faster! Big stories hide unnecessary work. If you break them up into a set of shorter stories, you can recognize and remove the short stories that are not worth building.

On formatting content, @NickColley just said “that’s why markdown is so good”.
I asked “who is Mark Down?”
I’ll add him to the list of People I’ve Learned Are Not Real People along with:
Jason (JSON)
Jake Weary (jQuery)
Travis (the deployment squirrel)
Anymore for anymore?

You know a Brit’s really mad when they beg your pardon, then suggest something may have escaped your attention, before apologising for being close to losing their patience. Upon reaching boiling point, there’s a chance they’ll issue the killer blow of offering you their regards.
