It's new job day! I've got my new laptop (MacBook Air) and a fancy new title (Director of Engineering, Culture & Academy) and I'm so excited to get started 🥳

Cosy Sunday reading with the dog on my feet. Recapping this book in preparation for some upcoming meetings. Genuinely can’t recommend this book enough if you’re working with technology teams.
