I love my kids, I really do. But sometimes that 'teenage boy room smell' makes me question a few life decisions :/

Great engineering organisations reward prevention, not heroics.

The best teams celebrate:

• fewer incidents
• fewer emergencies
• fewer late nights

Quiet reliability beats dramatic rescues.

If urgent work keeps appearing, it's not a developer problem.

It's a prioritisation and leadership problem.

A good rule for engineering teams:

“We can work faster temporarily.

But we cannot work faster forever.”
#Software #Dev #Agile #Smells #Heroics

Healthy engineering teams don't rely on heroes.

They rely on:

• planning
• prioritisation
• automation
• sustainable pace

Heroics should be the exception, not the operating model.

👃🌍 Rising temperatures and biodiversity loss are shifting the chemical composition of the world's odors.

Scientists and historians are documenting how these changes lead to the extinction of natural #smells like frankincense and the scent of clean #snow. This shift impacts human cultural heritage and the sensory systems #animals rely on for survival.

Earth's Smells Are Disappearing Because of Climate Change, and It's a Vast Cultural Loss

A triple threat of pollution, extinction and warming temperatures is altering the way the planet smells. Scientists are only beginning to understand the stakes for humans

Hero culture doesn't scale.

The most committed engineers eventually burn out, leave, or disengage.

The organisation loses its strongest people.
