3.10.2021 01:34Keeping My PlaceAllow me to tell a bit of a story. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I was a regular visitor and sometime contributor to a website where XP and Agile were first being brought to the attention of the wider community outside the original team that developed the practices. At the time I was steeped … Continue reading "XPiphany"

The problem is, I never defined what I meant by counting words. So what exactly is a word, how are they counted, and how do the … Continue reading "Addendum: Counting Words"

29.7.2021 22:42Comment on Out of the silence by Stuart DankerWhen I first restarted this blog at the end of May, I wanted to start writing longer posts.

What precisely constitutes burnout? You know you’re burned out when things that used to motivate you … Continue reading "Am I Really Burnt Out?"

5.6.2021 18:40Comment on Sabbatical by A Year Before | The Wild Fox DenAt the beginning of the pandemic I decided to start something called a Zettelkasten. My first note is dated March 6, 2020. That’s just about a week before my employer sent out official notice that everyone would be working from home “until further notice“. As of my last day there, we were still working from … Continue reading "A Year Before"
