also - done well they are very fun and engaging.
I meet a lot of CEOs who are taking over an existing engineering team and are trying to answer a seemingly simple question. "How do I measure the effectiveness of my engineering team?". My answer: WEEKLY DEMOS. There are lots of activity metrics that can be useful to track, but.

hmm. the last time @oliviachow mentioned entrepreneurs in a post was 12 years ago.
I always appreciate hearing directly from Torontonians about what matters most, from making our city more affordable to keeping our streets safe and welcoming for everyone. I believe in this city. I believe in its promise. And I believe that with the right leadership, we can

thanks @erinotoole. rational optimism is the way!. "I am resolved to continue my efforts. with the hope that by our diligence and courage we shall overcome the difficulties and bring honour to our nation.”" . Samuel de Champlain.
A generational divide is developing here too with the establishment leaders quoted being pessimistic about the challenge in front of us while younger leaders like @build_canada are optimistic. I respect both sides but hope optimism wins the day. 🇨🇦 .

one of my fav guitars; so great there will be SE versions now.
The popular NF 53 model is joining the SE Series! Inspired by one of Paul Reed Smith's vintage guitars from 1953, this model pairs vintage soul with our Narrowfield DD "S" pickups to give the SE NF 53 its timeless tone.

I organized rock concerts in high school. on show night, there was always way more demand than space. so, I hired my buddies to run the door - and let them resell the tickets (and keep the profit) to the crowd outside. I didn't want the money. I wanted the place to be packed.

"revenue solves all problems" . an oversimplification, but generally good advice for a company. and a country.
