This week&#8217;s post reviewing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/2023-dora-report-abi-noda-6selc\">2023 DORA Report<\/a> is worth calling out. I love that he calls out that there is so much more than the &#8220;4 metrics&#8221; that people tend to be the most excited about. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This brief series on Fostering Motivation in Engineering Teams is full of stuff I love, and worth a read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/fostering-motivation-engineering-teams-part-12-antonello-caboni\/\">Part 1<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/fostering-motivation-engineering-teams-part-22-antonello-caboni\/\">Part 2<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;ve been listening to a lot of my old vinyl records recently. I was listening to Dylan&#8217;s Blonde on Blonde, and I recalled the times where I was asked, <em>&#8220;Why do you like Dylan &#8211; he&#8217;s a horrible singer?&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s &#8211; he&#8217;s not a great singer, but he&#8217;s a fantastic songwriter and musician, and his voice fits his stories. This article on <a href=\"https:\/\/lithub.com\/how-bob-dylan-blurred-the-boundaries-between-literature-and-popular-music\/\">how Dylan blurred the lines between literature and music <\/a>hits a lot of great points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I enjoyed this article from Dev Interrupted &#8211; W<a href=\"https:\/\/devinterrupted.substack.com\/p\/where-are-all-the-laid-off-software-a41\">here are all the laid-off software developers going?<\/a> It&#8217;s a great question with some thoughtful answers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, in news that shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to anyone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/taylor-swift-billionaire\/index.html\">Taylor Swift is now a Billionaire<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading, and once again, I hope you found something useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just realized that it&#8217;s almost Halloween.
