"HEY today has some 300-odd system tests. We're going to cut that number way down. The sunk cost fallacy has kept us running this brittle, cumbersome suite for too long. Time to cut our losses, reduce system tests to a much smaller part of the equation." world.hey.com/dhh/system-tes…

This is your regular reminder that estimation is destroying value (focus on duration/cost, not value), and creating conflict (my estimate vs your), as well as misdirecting management attention (velocity vs. value performance) #NoEstimates

Software Engineering continues to suffer from a binary, context free perspective on practices, patterns and tools. Any practice is either "excellent" or "awful" in all scenarios.
Engineering needs to mature to understanding there is a box of tools which may help in your context.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
You can have all the strategy you want but if it's a toxic culture, you're swimming against the tide.

Do you want to be a dramatically better manager and teammate? Kick the habit of empty praise.
When you catch yourself feeling grateful to someone or impressed by their work, do the work to figure out why it had such an impact on you. Share *those* details, not "you're so great!"
