“The brains and hearts that build the world”

is the title of the first chapter of @grimalkina ‘s book the psychology of software teams

DOI:10.1201/9781003589112-1

I’m starting with the ebook before ordering a copy for my bookshelf.

I feel this will likely stand right alongside switch, team topologies, sooner safer happier and right kind of wrong.

Let’s see?

Tridge. In his own words.

Remembering the fabulous Lucychili - aka Janet Reid Hawtin and her glorious artwork.

I met her 20 years ago. Now just making a moment to celebrate the colour she brought to the world. Thank you Janet.

Hey... help me out?
How are you using (or avoiding) AI?

Some context: I'm curious. I'm seeing some people embrace and experiment with it, I'm seeing some raise red flags, I'm also seeing eye-rolling at the hype.

I'm also seeing innovation, and pushing what's possible, and documented real harms done.

All of which is feeding my curiosity, and caution.

So what do you see? Are you all in? Avoiding? Other?

Australia will go to the polls in May.

Which means it's time to remind the young people in our lives they should enrol to vote.

https://aec.gov.au/enrol/

Voting is compulsory in Australia.

I believe that's a good thing, and I advocate everyone invest their time, attention, and critical judgement in making good use of their democratic right to vote.

It was hard won for some.
We should all revel in our collective power to decide who decides for all of us.
