If you write software these days, you have to understand observability. Testing will not be enough.

if Product hates Tech, and Tech hates Product, that will design the system.

Build relationships, not networks.

Networking is icky.

Transactional is the antithesis of resilience.

The system is reinforcing the patterns you want to change.

It isn’t the people.

Knowledge stock (what’s in your head) increases your efficiency.

Knowledge flow (moving it between people & tech) increases your effectiveness.

I recently designed and facilitated a legacy migration hands-on exercise with @indu-alagarsamy.bsky.social at #exploreDDD

The Miro board is here if you'd like to run the exercise yourself: miro.com/app/board/uX...

When you find a leverage point, nobody believes you.

Eighteen months of struggle later, everybody finds it obvious

and nobody remembers that you said it.

When incidents are too painful,
have more incidents.

Lower the threshold for "incident". Get practice at gathering people, looking at production, and learning what's going on.

The longer you’ve been in the career, the less feedback you naturally get.
