Wow, the wait time to pay respects to the Queen is almost as long as the wait time for emergency medical care in Ontario! youtu.be/cJxDwDzAwEs

Spending Friday night the way the cool kids do, making candied citrus peel for a batch of stollen.

This is a really great product to be working on, and a big part of that is due to the attitude and abilities of the RCMP staff on the team.

I love how fast we can iterate on our ideas. Finding out quickly what works with people and what doesn't keeps us on track to deliver a service that will meet our users' needs.

Great to see my home province working to improve services for other Bluenosers. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences as you grow and tackle more and more products.
We have some big news.... We launched the Nova Scotia Digital Service. A big team of public servants that care a lot about making it easy to do the things you need to do. I wrote about it here: link.medium.com/RKCxpuwW01

Sometimes the only way to end a day is with Netflix and a lot of scotch.

Awesome seeing one of our new @CDS_GC @SNC_GC services getting coverage! If there are any public servants out there that would like to test it out, send us a DM!

It took me less than half an hour to go from “ok so what is Notify again?” to sending emails from a web app we’re building. That’s faster then when I did something similar with Twilio a few weeks ago!

Building things is easy. Designing for users is hard. Props to @OC_Transpo for iterating on the LRT these past few weeks.

I’ve worked with three of these folks so far - looking forward to working with the other two on future projects. Having a great product manager makes my life as a developer so much easier!
