I was extremely Murderbot when coxing today.
My personal favourite from this was the beginner cox (now a world championship holder) who heard ‘fully dressed’ and instead of wearing like. normal rowing kit, jumped in in full winter coxing gear, including coat and wellies
For me, the real nail in the coffin was volunteering at the swim tests for prospective rowers… You would not believe the number of people who thought “This is a test; I am good at tests; I can figure it out on the fly” and tried swimming *for the first time* in that pool.

My aunt gave me these when I started coxing 18 years ago. they outlived my rowing career and also my aunt. we’ve crossed countries and continents together, land and water, two wheels and four, but they are finally beyond repair.
they sure did fare the way.

Welcome to ops. And coxing.
Developer experience actually deals a lot with things one can’t prevent or avoid. Same for resilience engineering (and any other systems thinking specialty).
Recognizing when it happens and making it easier to handle is a very effective technique. We should lean into that!

when i was being examined for my senior coxing licence in Oxford, she asked if I'd ever been in a boat crash, I said yes, she asked what I happened, I said "a manatee tried to mate with the shell and it capsized then broke in half" and she did not know how to respond to that

Remember that time I had to present at A&e with the specifically Oxford complaint of “broke a few ribs coxing summer eights” and they were like “aw bad crash?” And I had to confess that no actually we were head of the river, they just missed the river when throwing me in and I hit the concrete raft
Someone at A&E this morning: please God it’s been such a rough 48 hours I just need a good laugh
God: I got u fam, I got just the person to send…

Coxing has given me some appreciation for how much structure a group of adults needs to be able to cooperative even somewhat effectively.
I will say, now when I see adults doing something disappointing, I tend to think "oh no one ever did a good job teaching you to be better, back when it was likely to take."
It helps with patience but it's also somewhat dispiriting to me as an organizer, at times

I used to be pretty good at that. Now I get really annoyed at other adults, because I tend to see us all through the lens of "it is our job to be modeling pro-social behavior for kids"

It's been a triggery sort of day (bad coxing experience, deleting tweets) so I am eating extremely processed peanut butter on crackers.
