Glück gehabt! Bin spät dran, konnte aber noch eine der letzten 10 gedruckten Ausgaben von @FrauKnurrkater Popupdungeon "Stinkstadt" für Mausritter abstauben. Hier ist der geheime Link: https://ko-fi.com/s/bea57b29a4 🕵️

In the EU, I found it under Settings > Data & Privacy > Interest-based marketing.

Elsewhere it has been found under Settings > Data & Privacy > PayPal Shopping or Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping.

We decided that it was time for a 2nd edition in spring 2021, thinking it would only require a few months to write a few updates to reflect changes since 2006, when 1st ed came out. Ha! 2+ years later, the new book is twice as long and we’ve examined every word, added new content, and polished all of it. More work than we expected, and it feels totally worthwhile. I hope everyone finds same or more #value than they have in the first edition.
So many people associate #agile with the notion of going faster, 'stepping on the gas', but that points at a fundamental misunderstanding of the power of agile - it's the steering wheel, not the accelerator. Being responsive to feedback, course correcting with new information, pulling up and 'getting out' all come from an agile mindset and way of working. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

Hitting the wall faster is unlikely to do you any good.

If you work in tech and haven't heard about "being glue", I would say that it's vital to read about it:

You'll either feel extremely heard, or it will open your eyes to what some of your (disproportionately female) coworkers struggle with on a regular basis.

One of the hardest and most valuable things you can do as a company is the following:

1. Have a fully up to date org chart
2. Have a diagram that is not the org chart that accurately reflects how work flows through the company
3. Have an up to date and accurate diagram and explanation of what the company does and how it does it (architecture, revenue funnels, business value streams, code-bases)

Scaling decision making is *impossible* without a shared context to build alignment off of.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been hard at work on an official site collecting all the excellent Mausritter third-party content into one place.

Now that it's live, I'm excited to introduce the Mausritter Library: https://library.mausritter.com/

A growing collection of over 500 adventures, modules, bestiaries, settings, and tons of other supplements that will enhance any Mausritter table.

It's been a ton of fun working on this project and I'm stoked that it's now live.

Coming up with new ideas is not the problem. It's getting rid of the old ones.

As I coach software teams (and do so remotely), it's pretty clear that the root problem is that folks never knew how to work together in the first place.

And I do mean "work together," not folks siloed in their little caves where you have no idea what they're up to.

Working together is a skill, it doesn't come for free. It can be learned. It can be taught.

'"Our analysis shows that 52 percent of ChatGPT answers are incorrect and 77 percent are verbose," the team's paper concluded. "Nonetheless, ChatGPT answers are still preferred 39.34 percent of the time due to their comprehensiveness and well-articulated language style." Among the set of preferred ChatGPT answers, 77 percent were wrong.'

ChatGPT's odds of getting code questions correct are worse than a coin flip

But its suggestions are so annoyingly plausible
