Paris just announced plans to ban private cars in the city centre.
Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. Congestion is not inevitable, pollution is not inevitable, climate chaos is not inevitable.

But it doesn't help get to great engineering teams. In fact, it blocks getting there.
And yet, engineering managers hang on to this hope, fueled by vendors claiming how these tools helps teams ship better/faster.
They don't. You're fooling yourself.

Incredible how most engineering managers don't realize how measuring developer productivity by visualizing JIRA+git stats is a dead-end if you want truly high-performing teams.
This path works just like mandating that teams use Scrum. Yes: it helps bad teams get better.

So important, the modern issue with Parking is that it distracts from the real solutions needed to make downtown cores vibrant and inclusive zoning a reality. @DowntownNapanee

The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

The outage is not impacting all customers. But ones that it is: life has stopped last week.
Quote from a DM: "We've been hit. We're deeply integrated w Atlassian and it's been nothing but misery the whole week. Can't believe we pay for this."
Choose your vendors carefully...

For my startup, Remote Tools:
• we wrote ~150 SEO blogs,
• during feb to sep 2021,
• average length of ~1000 words
From this:
• we get ~1M monthly traffic,
• 80% traffic comes from ~40 blogs
SEO is all about creating high-quality, well-researched content.

A tragedy of many modern product teams is that they have been conditioned to feel smartest when debating metrics, reviewing charts, discussing complex analyses, and not feel smart or safe when broaching the topic of customer psychology, creative solutions, and cognitive biases.

"Fail Fast. Fail Cheap. Be Lazy."
Premature optimization is a pitfall that all of us programmers face from time to time.
It's so easy to anticipate problems that we think users will have.
Remember — everything you do has an opportunity cost. One "yes" equals many "noes."

Listening to your audience is a skill. It helps you to understand
- their current situation
- their pains and needs
- their goals and aspirations
- their triggers that move them to action
This knowledge is pure gold ✨ for an entrepreneur.

A company’s true culture is defined more by the bad behaviors it tolerates than the cultural values it appreciates.

Totally. Similarly often seen on Slack. Just ask.
If you want to say hi and tell me about your weekend, go for it. I love to hear it. But include the question at the end, don’t wait for me to reply before you make your ask. It’s really less disruptive

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.
This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Italian cities like Florence are building citywide bike lane systems, known as "bicipolitanas" ("bike subways").
This is great. We should treat bike lanes as a **network** of interlocking parts, much as roads for drivers or transit lines for riders.

Virtual reality can take you anywhere in the universe. So we're taking you...back to a work meeting that could have been an email
Here's what Mark Zuckerberg is announcing in his interview on CBS: "A virtual reality app that lets you and your coworkers feel like you're sitting around a table in a conference room."
