Hello,

This week’s been about sending resumes to interesting companies and keeping the learning schedule.

I had a few introductory interviews already and some more coming in the next week. It's reassuring to see positive signals at the beginning of the job search.

About the learning schedule, currently the focus is on product management and microservice architecture.

It’s fascinating to learn more about product, and there’s incredible value in it. Presently, I’m reading about how to use User Story Mapping and Cost of Delay to build the minimum viable product (I wrote about the MVP on LinkedIn) and prioritize the essential features.

This week’s briefer:

  • One Thing Holding Back Agile in Your Company

  • Business Value Isn’t My Job

  • Fighting The Astro-Turfing Of Culture

5 Minute DevOps: Business Value Isn’t My Job

I was recently in a conversation on social media about the role of a software engineer.

Fighting The Astro-Turfing Of Culture, The Gravity Well Of Banality, And The Stifling Grip Of Pre-Packaged Thinking — Martin Weigel

We have to release the brakes. To get our minds around the truth that old solutions cannot unlock new problems. We must champion and elevate strategy to its rightful role as being by its very nature an imaginative discipline (nor merely a precursor or fluff-job for somebody else’s).
