PREACH, Ed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ed Davey@eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 2y ago

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Assigning agency to techniques seems to me to be an attempt to avoid responsibility. “I used TDD & got poorly designed/unreliable/hard to understand code—not my fault.”

A literary festival and #Eastbourne go together like tea and a great book (on the craft of writing in this case by the awesome Ursula K. Le Guin, “Steering the Craft” — highly recommended!). Help us make Eastbourne Literary Festival a reality here: www.eastbourneliteraryfestival.com/contact

Today I got this little project off the ground after some wonderful support from the local council and our awesome Member of Parliament. Hello, World to the new Eastbourne Literary Festival 🤞 www.eastbourneliteraryfestival.com

Great (technical) product owners and leads have at least one skill very much in common. They can all actively listen. #productowner #colleboration #teamwork open.substack.com/pub/russmile...

Great Technical Product Owners LISTEN

And so do great product and platform engineering teams!

I've been so looking forward to this interview coming out. Barbara Oakley was an absolutely joy to interview. I'm incredibly lucky with all the wonderful, amazing people I get to interview for the lovely people at @gotocon.com but I have to admit this one is a personal favorite.

How can balancing focus and creativity boost learning? Barbara Oakley and @charleshumble.bsky.social explore strategies like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and using AI to enhance learning and memory retention.

Really enjoyed this talk by @kevlin.bsky.social that explores, demystifies, and explains #TechnicalDebt in better ways in the context of software development and code bases. youtu.be/9iLxR1h2208?...

Ready to do my second to last talk of the year: “The 12 Days of Christmas: Platform Edition” Evolving DevOps to Platform as a Product is an excellent journey. It’s time to look back and celebrate and look forward and salivate! P.S. Thank you for my t-shirt choice today @gotocon.com ❤️

Every time I talk about learning to read code, a million* people chime in with "let's just write readable code". This misses the point. Yes, please do that. But when you inherit a codebase, and when you let AI generate your code, you don't have any choice. trishagee.com/2020/09/07/r...

Ok, it’s the first Sunday of Advent and therefore acceptable to start getting Christmassy. Should you be in the market for a seasonal historical crime story, I have this collection of 3 Young Bruno novellas that would make a lovely gift for all your friends & family 🗡️🩸

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Getting our advent on…

Tomorrow, it begins. May you all enter the gates of #Whamhalla with heads held high. Unless it's only Dec 2nd. That's just shameful, like you aren't even trying. #Whamageddon #LastChristmas

In software, make things "opt-in" rather than "try desperately to dig out of".

Happy December 1st!

Three years ago I got a spot of bad news. Cancer. Several months of amazing and gruelling exploration and then treatment, and I celebrate every August my cancer free. For now, but then for now is all we ever get. Each year I celebrate in late November and early December that strange gift ❤️

My company this evening ❤️
