Just had a wonderful phone call with a very relieved American friend of mine. I can't call all relieved Americans so I will send out virtual hugs to you instead 🤗🤗🤗
Instead of a "team lead", I will always prefer a diverse domain expertise among team members and combine it with a neutral moderator role. It's so hard to find good moderators though. P.S. Jira should not exist.
Things I would definitely NOT use/have in my own software/product development team or company: 👎 JIRA 👎 Story points 👎 Epics 👎 Team leads 👎 Delivery Managers 👎 Performance reviews 👎 Change Approval Boards 👎 Steering Committees 👎 Asynchronous dependencies 👎 Blame culture

Hollywood should do a remake of Titanic where Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslet have a 3 hour long discussion on how they'd build a ship that doesn't sink when hitting an iceberg. Instead of trying to save themselves.

Yes, given that the planned tracking app is not based on location data but on close-proximity bluetooth, fully anonymous and open source: nypost.com/2020/04/02/german… No technology is 100% perfect, but this looks like a trustworthy approach to someone who is from the field.

I'm excited to announce the release of my second Slack app: Uplink Uplink enables direct messaging across workspaces as if everyone was on the same Slack. uplink-chat.com

All it takes to start a conversation, is to install Uplink on your Slack and to provide a contact's email address. Just start conversations with your contacts and invite them to install Uplink as well. Everything needs to start somewhere 🙂

Some background: Uplink was born from a two weeks I-just-feel-like-doing-this-now project that I extended for another two weeks to make it particularly privacy friendly and data secure. Without any irony: It's worth to have a look at the privacy policy.
Yesterday was the hottest day in 138 years of German weather records: 42.6°C 1.3° more than the old record. Which is from 2015. But that's only the tip of the ... Wait, what? Where did all the icebergs go?

When possible: Concierge MVP. Most of the time: - There are many tests for demand: survey results, pre-orders, low NPS for high-revenue competitors, etc. - Most tests have false positives, false negatives, or both. - Easier to validate the problem than your specific solution.

Why I will never vote for conservatives? Uhmm ... maybe because their actions regularly remind me of totalitarian regimes? Like attempting to ban #e2ee messaging in Germany? And then @CDU is wondering why they're being dissed so hard by young people. Hint: Because they are smart. – at Berlin, Germany
