What is good communication and how do we measure it?

This was one of the questions I tried to answer in the Quality Communication talk I gave last week. Seeing that both I and the audience were engineers, I approached this question by looking at technical models of communication and modeling misunderstanding as "data loss".

In my blog post I was able to go into much more detail than I could in my talk. You can read it here: https://patrick-moelk.eu/en/blog/quality-communication/concepts/

As an introvert I don't typically like being the center of attention. It took me some courage, but I gave a talk this Wednesday at the #QualityEngineering #meetup at #JetBrains in Berlin. With a record number of signups I delivered my talk titled "Quality Communication" in front of 100 people.

Ich bin übrigens auch ein „besorgter Bürger“: ich bin besonders besorgt über den Einzug der Nazis in Parlamente, den unmenschlichen Umgang mit anderen und die spalterische, nicht-inklusive Politik.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.
