Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today!
Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

Most teams have a gap that's easy to miss: everyone works on the same system, but nobody has quite the same picture of it.
Diagrams go stale. Docs sit unread. And the same conversations keep happening in meetings.

When I started working, I noticed that companies were not great at having meetings and making decisions. So I started digging into decision-making theory.
In this episode, I sat down with @roundcrisis.com to unpack why decision-making processes often fail the people they are meant to help. [1/2]
