🚨 Calling all NOT-ARTISTS working with complicated systems 🚨
Do you miss the whiteboard? 😢
Is the virtual whiteboard you use missing something?
There is lots of science behind why we need to draw with our hands.
Join this free series I'm teaching next week for not-artists working on complicated systems 👇🏽appearworks.vipmembervault.c…

In about 15 minutes, we're doing a live stream for patrons and folks who signed up for last week's meetup.
Even if that's not you, we hope you'll take some time to do a little art therapy for yourself today. 🎧📝🌱

Trust me -- I did the whole code-as-much-as-you-can-in a-day thing. It was a recipe for misery.
Practice is about more than lines of code.

since we pair program at BackerKit, there are a lot of things we learned about remote pairing this past year that i want to tell literally everyone else who is remote pairing (esp due to pandemic): backerkit.com/blog/how-exper… (but also, experiments are a great framework for all!!)

Living through toxic work experiences is too much of a given thing in tech.
Non-disparagement clauses are probably never going away, but that doesn't mean that they don't cause harm.
This week I talk about them in the podcast 🎧👇🏽

Ugh. I'm doing a hard thing this week on the podcast and sharing my depression/anxiety story.
I hid this for so long because I was scared of how it would impact my "employability" in tech.
Definitely getting to that idgaf stage of life.

Do you miss the whiteboard in your office? Then you'll want to join our interactive talk with @Marlenac!
We'll look at ways to sketch out a system and learn how to use drawing as a tool for communicating with remote teammates even if we are not artists. msft.it/6011pIUD9
