I ran an interactive #WardleyMapping session in the evening slot. A full day of talks behind us, yet the group arrived with high energy. The collaborative format turned that into a great session.

Geparden laufen schneller als Menschen. Evolutionärer Vorteil. Menschen sind schlauer als Geparden. Entwickeln Rad, Motoren. Menschen können sich jetzt schneller als Geparden bewegen. Evolutionärer Vorteil. Dann: Menschen bauen Computer, AI, laufende Roboter. Sind wieder langsamer als Geparden. 😤

Davor hab ich Perl und PHP 3 für Geld gecodet. Java war damals etwas von einem völlig anderen Planeten. OO? Typsicherheit? Hell, yeah!

Wie glücklich hat dich diese Erinnerung gemacht? Auf einer (angenommenen') Skala von '0' 😂??

Thanks for the article, it speaks from my heart! 👏

Oh yes!

Communication is an essential part of architectural work and is part of the role. The non-technical skills required for this are often underestimated. Practices to drive decisions in complex socio-technical systems exist and they make it easier for management to say “Yes!”.

I guess „Why?“ is not the question to ask, but still …

Echte Highperformer reißen 160 Stunden in drei Tagen. Und renovieren dabei noch die Hütte 💪

Got it, been there. Remembering the pain that pre-configured, non-customizable IDE setups at past projects caused helped a lot 😁. But I totally get your point, as nothing is more annoying than a bug in the IDE setup preventing you from being/feeling productive.

I'm using #IntelliJ + #Webstorm in the same project (mostly Java + Typescript). No serious bugs encountered so far. But what's most important: Productivity and DX are way better than with other client projects where #Eclipse (with a ton of plugins) and #VSCode are the default.
