It's possible there's such a thing as too many references 🤔 sounds fake 



Anyway here is a quick blogpost of my slide refs to accompany the VirtualDDD talk I gave today, and I will come back to it to add the talk once posted!

Feedback from our recent @virtualDDD open space included "more cocaine bears." Thus proving that in one night, perfect strangers can gather, create and sustain meaningful memes.

In 3 hours!

In the world of “digital transformation”, software is becoming systems. Unfortunately, we don’t think in systems. Let’s explore some essential nonlinear practices ... and come up with more together.

I was dubious about virtual conferences. Today's @virtualDDD made a believer out of me.

Last @virtualDDD session of the conference, Experiments in design. Great night cap.

A wonderful aspect of the Previously Recorded Q&A style of #DDDD @virtualDDD is you get to see other people's real-time quote recommendations!

I've spent the last two weeks integrating the topics @trondhjort speaks about. Living proof that he is *right on track* and this is an essential discussion. Definitely watch his talk as part of @virtualDDD
