Five for Friday – October 4, 2024
It’s been a week, for sure. Here are some things I found that I think you should know about.
- A lot of points in this post on Fear of Failure resonated with me. I’ve come to love failure over my career, but it was a difficult path.
- I listen to too many podcasts, but seem to add new podcasts faster than I remove them. The latest addition for me is the Ship It! podcast. So far, it’s been a fun listen.
- HBR hit a homerun (or beat the boss?) with this article on Why Gaming Is Good for the Workplace.
- I’m not a huge fan of Scrum – it can work, but also be all sorts of anti-agile. The author of this article on Are Scrum Masters Too Much Overhead? and I agree that it’s completely possible to “do” Scrum without Scrum Masters.
- I made a video of my September hike. It has a lot of problems. It’s long (30 minutes), the audio is inconsistent, the video is (sometimes) blurry, and various other glitches and goofs. But – it does capture what it’s like to go on a multi day hike.
And that’s all for the week – thank you again for reading.
At least one person who’s not family enjoyed the video of your hike!
