Five for Friday – April 2, 2021

Back for another week – remember, if you would like an email version of FfF, you can sign up here (nvm – it’s broken again)

  • Charity Majors shared a fantastic deck on continuous delivery – worth checking out.
  • Two from fellow today, becuase I don’t think I ever called out the Super Managers podcast. Every time I get a new episode, I think – “I don’t know if I’ll like this one or not”, and every time, I’m wrong.
  • I was thinking of Fellow, because they just published a heavily researched piece on meetings that I will find ongoing value with. Note – the link requires an email address, so do with that what you will.
  • This article on the power of self-organizing teams feels like it was pulled from by brain – I found myself nodding and smiling all the way through the read.
  • Pluralsight is free in April, and there’s probably something there worth looking into.

    I recently wrote a bit about my role on the Lync test team at Microsoft. I thought it may be interesting to share a bigger picture of what the team does for those interested in how we do what we do. At the surface is the "who" and the "what" of the team. We have…

  • Updates and things

    I gave a talk at a meetup hosted by GoDaddy last Friday. I had a good time, and the comments afterwards were positive. More than one of the folks I talked with after the event asked why I don’t blog anymore. I have been a bit sparse in my blogging over the last few years,…

    There’s been s lot reported lately on the Equifax security breach. Equifax failed to apply a security patch for Apache Struts in a timely manner, and attackers took advantage of this to get at a whole lot of customer data. What we don’t know at this time is whether this was a fluke due to a…
