Five for Friday – May 26, 2023
Another week, more at least partially interesting articles and links to share. You don’t read this sentence anyway, so let’s get to the bullets.
- I was on the Mobot How It’s Tested podcast telling stories about testing – and depending on where you are in your software development journey, either telling you what you already know, or spouting complete bullshit. Give it a listen and let me know.
- I like this lens on 1:1 meetings – A 1:1 Tool to Keep it Light & Intentional. It’s similar to the ACM model I frequently use (and both the author and I draw from Csikszentmihalyi for inspiration)
- I really enjoy the Two Wrongs blog series. It’s well written and full of fun information. This week’s post – The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Conditional Probabilities – is a fun dive into statistics, but I recommend you check out some of the articles on systems thinking as well.
- I LOVE a good debugging story, and this story on Debugging a FUSE deadlock in the Linux kernel is (to me) a great read.
- Finally, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (or the writers at HBR will) – AI can help you ask better questions. I use chat GPT as a collaborator – not an answer-bot, and my experience has been great.
Once again – thanks for reading. Let me know if I missed something important. Enjoy your weekend.
