Here are a few things worth sharing this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I just finished reading <a href=\"https:\/\/adamgrant.net\/book\/hidden-potential\/\">Hidden Potential<\/a> by Adam Grant. I&#8217;ve read everything Grant has written, and this could be his best book. My highlights are extensive, but I&#8217;ll just share two quotes.<br \/><em>In life, there are few things more consequential than the judgments people make of our potential.<\/em><br \/>and<br \/><em>Impostor syndrome says, \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing. It\u2019s only a matter of time until everyone finds out.\u201d Growth mindset says, \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing yet. It\u2019s only a matter of time until I figure it out.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaking of highlights, I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I use Obsidian for all of my notes. The <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/hadynz\/obsidian-kindle-plugin\">Kindle Highlights<\/a> plugin for obsidian pulls all of my highlights into Obsidian &#8211; which means I can quickly find what I highlighted, or search my highlights for specific phrases. It&#8217;s not a lot, but given how much I read, it&#8217;s wonderful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lisa Crispin has a great post this week (which I would say even if she <em>didn&#8217;t<\/em> call out the AB Testing Podcast on <a href=\"https:\/\/lisacrispin.com\/2024\/03\/11\/a-look-back-at-release-engineering\/\">A look back at release engineering<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the reasons a team may not need extensive manual testing is if they extensively dogfood their product. Sometimes, some portions of the product need fresh sets of eyes, so I really like this idea from Graphite on <a href=\"https:\/\/graphite.dev\/blog\/onboarding-roulette\">Onboarding roulette: deleting our employee accounts daily<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And finally, I always enjoy an article that draws from Dan Pink. This post on <a href=\"https:\/\/makemeacto.substack.com\/p\/mastering-team-autonomy-a-ctos-dilemma\">building autonomy as a CTO<\/a> makes a lot of great points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it -a busy weekend coming up in weasel-ville, but I should be back with 5 more bits of random trivia when I return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did it get to be the middle of March already?
