I created Canonical's Practice Leadership Handbook for engineering disciplines. It has been valuable internally - now we've published it (and the accompanying workbook) for anyone to use.

Interviews - what to say - Fanaka

Every African has a story to tell, many of them are walking testimony of life.

There are those who went to school barefoot.
Those who slept around the fire, guarding livestock while lions roared in the distance.
There are those who live to protect our culture, beliefs and traditions.
And those who take up bow and arrows to hunt to feed the family, because tomorrow is never promised.

Every African is a living testimony,
of lifeโ€™s pain, the hustle,
of that unshakable positive vibe, the smile,
the jokes, the selflessness and adaptability to every situation.

Good day. Letโ€™s try again, and see what the sunrise brings us today.

My favourite German word - Daniele Procida

If creators of documentation are prepared to sacrifice its human purpose in order that LLMs can more effectively slurp it up and regurgitate it on demand, then they have meekly accepted values that more properly belong in a dystopian horror story.

I don't believe that teaching is really possible. I try to remember not to do it, and I do my best to discourage others.
