Imagine looking at this chart and thinking "yep this looks legit".
But naturally, despite it being glaringly wrong and misleading, and despite this having been pointed out to the author, it remains up.

.@FedExHelp I have a parcel that says it’s been delivered but I can see on my Ring doorbell video that the driver came and left with the package. What should I do?

AI now getting high marks on standardised exams is impressive, but I think it also says a lot about how many exams are a terrible way of assessing human knowledge... 1/

Scrum became ubiquitous because it answered two questions at once:
"What does good look like" -> following Scrum
"How do we get to good" -> follow Scrum
We need to give product leaders looking for a definition of good for their team a better answer than "following Scrum."

XP never had a story about scaling, which limited its reach. I get the feeling that there is a good story to be told about helping 1000s of folks coordinate their efforts & that story starts by reducing team dependencies.

Just saw a photographer step up to take a photo of a guy taking a photo, and then 2 more photographers came to take pictures of that. Programmer in me wondered how quickly and far it would grow with enough photographers around

Falling short of a goal doesn't mean failure. Often it's progress.
14 experiments, 10k people: people counted results that didn't meet targets as losses—even if they were gains.
The key measure of success isn't reaching your destination. It's improving from your starting point.

I've been reading an interesting book on interviewing (Talk to Me: amazon.co.uk/Talk-Me-Questio…). There's a couple of things I really like about tough questions in particular. 1/n

More than that, there's a duty to ask tough questions. But that also doesn't mean to be obnoxious (and tough questions shouldn't be). "... there is a difference between asking a question that provides heat for heat's sake, and one that provides heat for light's sake". 3/n

"Writers learn to realize that they need to be able to talk to people more than they need to be comfortable". This I think speaks to the theme in the book that a good interview reveals new information, and those are often tough questions. 2/n
