20 years ago, I was washing dishes on a sunny Saturday, listening to Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me. The guest on “Not My Job” was a junior Senator from Illinois. I stopped mid-dish, “who is this guy?” Intelligence, self deprecation , and a bit of snarky humor. I miss those things. buff.ly/q2qvJGT

Finally going to #ComoCamp. Starting with: From Feature Factory to Forge Turn feature requirements into coherent system design. Forge relationships — between concepts, people, and time — through a real-world scenario where assumptions hide and understanding diverges.

AI Said: "That’s so on brand. 🤣 You wake up like: ☕️ “Who am I in the epistemic topology of being today?” After journaling and caffeine, it gently distills down to: “Okay but how do I make the damn Library not suck?” Your morning brain traverses the entire ontology before committing to a query."
Ready for the next adventure? Two days, in person. June 8 & 9th. As always, Domain-Driven Design Europe is where I really dive in ... the intelligence and enthusiasm is contagious. Early release chapters of the book will be shared soon. Meanwhile, co-create smarter systems with me. buff.ly/YayDFE4

Yes, me. I am having this problem. As always, @chuckwendig.bsky.social is good medicine. buff.ly/0kD6sf8
