“Data-driven” decision: This affects a small number of people, so we won’t fix it. Values-driven decision: This excludes or harms a small number of otherwise disadvantaged people; that’s not ok, so we’ll fix it. The metrics you focus on are never neutral.

I'm a believer in "the bug is not fixed until the fix is live", which helps highlight the value of CI/CD. I'm kind of shocked (and sad) that this integration is rare.
Outside of things like Vercel/Netlify, where have you seen companies publish when changes are live in production? I'm looking for examples of customers opening feature/bug reports, and then having those literal tickets updated when something is live.

I've found product and marketing orgs expect documentation to have funnels when docs users themselves rarely expect, want, or follow any path you provide. Documentation is more like an open air park that people can walk into or through than a carnival with ticket gates and exit

as long as you’re having fun with those you love it’s all more than worth it

The two most critical assets a company has are psychological safety and institutional knowledge (i.e. the stuff that's not written down). Twitter is now lacking both. 😬

I love this type of physical interface! Way better IMO than speech. ⭐

If you're dead inside, go outside. Whether you're taking a walk in a park or hiking in the wilderness, spending time in nature can improve mental health and cognition. Where is your favorite place to spend time outside? Photo by Courtney Celley/USFWS.

I love this analogy. KRs also indicate when you've done "enough", and can focus elsewhere. KPIs don't usually have ceilings 📈
Today I explained OKRs and KPIs twice and why you should never mistake KRs for KPIs. My fave example from the two showed how you can apply this framework in your every day life..

One of biggest learnings for me was the importance of architecture to get great outcomes, both in DevOps and in any engineered system. I was trying to think of a great example of modularity, and started marveling at the USB interface.

This is a good looking list. Several of them are new to me, and I'm excited to check them out!
Hey, #BookTwitter! I have been exploring various #books on #DevRel and #community lately. Sharing some of my favourite ones from the bucket list here.📚💗 A thread🧵

This is a great illustration. As a devrel practitioner, I appreciate this holistic perspective. Excited to read the book!
@johncutlefish In Build, @tfadell makes the point that the customer doesn’t care about whatever we call “the product”, they care about their whole experience. For him, makers should put care into every aspect of the journey. And community is one of those relevant touchpoints.

Happy palindrome and ambigram day! This one is pretty special because the date can be read both front to back and upside down. It's a once-in-a-lifetime date 🥲

This is good advice for everyone, every day. I needed this reminder. Thanks, Ashley!
Do your best to make space for yourself, set boundaries when you can, and forgive yourself when you mess up. <3
