Golden thread for Engineering leaders...

Mgmt by walking around isn’t possible right now. You can’t walk by the team room, sense the buzz, see what’s on the task wall, engage in conversation, ask questions. Casual conversations don’t happen naturally. 1/?

What a privilege to have been part of the #drivinci unconference. The conversations were inspiring. And soul-searching. The kind that can level up the software and tech industry if propagated. Thanks @jacdevos for inviting me.

If you have some pre-loved laptops that you don't know what to do with... Donate them to @thecodingground, they use them for training students to become Software Developers. Great cause that could do with more attention!

Thanks, @riggaroo for donating your pre-loved laptops to @thecodingground. Much appreciated!

Very interesting discussion, with solo vs collaborative programming as a theme. Read the comments as well.
Alan Cooper@MrAlanCooper8 Nov 2018
When I started programming, it was a solo skill, performed by individuals, with little or no sharing and virtually no collaboration. A culture was built around those facts. 1
