Honestly finding it amazing that what the #conservatives are taking away from the #LocalElection is that they need to be more rightwing.

Seriously what are these folk on??

@hazz223 I think the "logic" goes: look at all these left wing urban dwellers. They need to be punished. 🤷🏼

📢 I have decided to make the core operation of Team Topologies non-profit. TT authors Manuel Pais and I are committed to the core mission : "...to make work more humane and more effective for everyone ..." and means I will not be able to profit personally from core TT activities. 💵🚫

More details over the coming weeks as changes happen...

I'd welcome your thoughts and feeling on this! 🙏

@monospace I like the way you have presented this 👏🏼

Would you be open to some kind of grouping of communities? Probably a mutual referral discount code, etc.

@monospace super! I am thinking of a kind of collection of complementary paid communities where people can discover related/adjacent communities easily and get a discount on subscription to other communities in the grouping...

Random tax question: EU/UK VAT started off as a consumer sales tax but is it now actually more useful (or also useful) as a tool to track domestic and international trade?

And does this perspective also apply to ZA, CA (GST), India, or are there different aims there with VAT?

'Given the degree of brokenness of the broken world (and the expense of fixing it), we need all maintainers to apply their diverse disciplinary methods and practical skills to the collective project of repair. [..] Fixers, he says, “know and see different things — indeed, different worlds — than the better-known figures of ‘designer’ or ‘user.’” Breakdown has “world-disclosing properties.”'

@RuthMalan @shannonmattern thank you - that was an inspiring read.

"trace a genealogy of fetishized innovation"

"Nobody ever named a maintenance project, nobody ever got recognized for a maintenance project, nobody ever much got blamed for deferring maintenance during the time while they were in office."

"recommends that repair be considered integral to sustainable building practices"

"ask ourselves for whom we engage in preservation..."

"The first Festival of Maintenance celebrated ‘repair, custodianship, stewardship, tending and caring’ in both the physical and digital spheres."

"real world AI boosts bureaucratic cruelty towards the most vulnerable. Case after case, from Australia to the Netherlands, has proven that unleashing machine learning in welfare systems amplifies injustice and the punishment of the poor. AI doesn't provide insights as it's just a giant statistical guessing game. What it does do is amplify thoughtlessness, a lack of care, and a distancing from actual consequences."

@jchyip I worked on a large program of work once where so much telemetry was being pushed to hosted Elasticsearch in AWS that it broke AWS in that region... Or some such

@matthewskelton SAFe seems to suggest that Tesm Topologies is a good fit for SAFe, see https://v5.scaledagileframework.com/organizing-agile-teams-and-arts-team-topologies-at-scale/ - is there any statement with your point of view concerning SAFe and Team Topologies?

matthewskelton,
@matthewskelton@mastodon.social avatar

@ewolff TT is definitely not "part of" SAFe and we (TT) were not consulted by SAFe about them using TT patterns in SAFe.

However, we're doing some collaboration around this with SAFe practitioners to try to nudge behaviour and awareness.

In the decades to come, the idea that animals have consciousness will become normal. The old, racist, command-and-control, hierarchical ideas will be confined to the bin of history 🗑️

"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the “pathology of command and control.” Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."
