Let's build better Systems. It starts with me. When you're a good human and help others, it sparks a ripple effect. #SystemsThinking

Very excited to be invited back to @ddd_eu this year. We have great new material to share on Systems Thinking
Join us at DDD Europe for a "Systems Thinking for Innovation" interactive workshop on Friday, 31 May 2024. "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," said Aristotle. But how do we leverage that 'whole' to drive innovation? @lor_krs @Ayesha_Bagus

Was great to be back at KanDDDinsky after 5 years. Spoke on applying Systems Thinking to code bases.
In today's #AdventOfTalks at #KanDDDinsky, @lor_krs asks, what is stopping us? A legacy code question. youtu.be/_rWKJI80o6Q

I'm excited to be at Agile meets Architecture in October. Talking about how, despite developers really wanting to do good work, we still end up with the "big ball of mud" in legacy systems. @AmA_conf

Ticking off items on a list is not collaboration. Team Collaboration happens in moments of connection and understanding. @LungAlexandra @JessicaGantier @ddd_eu

“I am a Developer & my job is more than coding.”Developers need to have the space to step back and think about the problem space, be included in sessions to understand “Why” & need to know how they contribute to the success of the product. @LungAlexandra @JessicaGantier @ddd_eu
