“Mainstream business, controlled by the mangement elite, have sought to reduce the phenomenal complexity of work culture into a simple, linear model, that can be controlled from the centre. The organizational systems they create are highly unstable and lacking in dynamism.”

If you insist on misgendering me during your tattoo then I'm charging you double. Sorry, but if you insist I'm a man then it's a known fact that men earn more than women. Call it a "sir" charge.

Designers too, amiright.
Going on dates as a journalist is hard because naturally, I'm a good interviewer so it's hard to decipher if we actually clicked or if I just asked good questions 🤨

Replying to @johncutlefish
Presentations come across as already well-thought and fully baked ideas. The setup of a presentation tries to “convince” the auidence. And I am not saying that the presenters always have an intention of convincing. It’s the setup.

If you release a couple times a day so that the deltas are small, have a no-known-bugs-on-release policy, have plenty of tests, most automated, work in an ensemble so the code is reviewed by multiple eyes as it's written, there's essentially zero risk to a Friday release.

Some UX designers say we can’t use the title “software designer” because that’s someone else’s job. THATS WHY PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU DO. Imagine telling the people paying you “I don’t design our app, I design the experience people have when they use the app.”
