One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.
So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1

Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before.
This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.

I have an idea: A meet up about programming in Copenhagen, Denmark. A task will be given before an event; you are allowed to solve the task in what ever language you fancy, and give a presentation about the language and solution at the meet up—if you like.
Want to help organise?

In tech, we are increasingly viewing "measuring all the things" as a badge of rigor & intelligence.
My take:
You don't need to measure everything you do
Yes, measurement is important
But equally important is the judgment of what should be measured & what need not be measured.

It's Friday, so I want to share one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on.
A few years ago, I built four eight-foot-long handwriting robots.
We wrote many thousands and thousands of addresses on our direct mail, and wrote personal messages for high value prospects.
