The enemy of good communication and collaboration: assumptions about things and people.
It’s a mystery to me why people don’t make things more explicit or test their assumptions before believing them.

We need patience to protect our peace of mind, our compassionate mind. Patience is part of our defense, as is forgiveness. Enemies and troublemakers are helpful in that they give us the opportunity to exercise patience and forgiveness.

I see users complaining all the time that something changed in their software. You know what's far worse than that, though? Software that never changes. The very best software is constantly evolving. The very worst.. isn't.

When our intentions toward others are good, we find that any feelings of anxiety or insecurity we may have are greatly reduced. We experience a liberation from our habitual preoccupation with self and paradoxically, this gives rise to strong feelings of confidence.

The best business analysts are programmers who are transitioning towards business/product management. This is a pathway that I have seen bear significant fruit over the years; though it is not a path that I ever wanted for myself.

To me "test cases” aren’t useful. They are the big-up-front-design of testing. Write acceptance tests collaboratively w/ your users when you start your increment. Write micro-tests every few minutes as you work. Write integration tests just before you integrate. That’s your plan.

While many people consider sensory experience as the main source of happiness, really it is peace of mind. What destroys peace of mind is anger, hatred, anxiety and fear. Kindness counters this—and through appropriate education we can learn to tackle such emotions.

"Agile is an attitude, not a technique with boundaries. An attitude has no boundaries, so we wouldn't ask 'can I use agile here', but rather 'how would I act in the agile way here?' or 'how agile can we be, here?'" - @totheralistair #attitude #quote

Take a look, multi-tasking is not effective. It’s all about laser focus around the priorities that matter! xitter.gq/mnthomas/status/859537…
