You know what I really miss about working in an office?

I miss _making mischief_.

I want to be badly behaved every now and then.

Just a little.

I want to play Cards Against Humanity at lunchtime, or get drunk and talk about things I shouldn't and make rude jokes, or have a massive sweary whinge about everything that pisses me off, or steal office stationery, or skive off to go shopping, or skip out of a whole company update to eat cake and giggle with my office bestie, or pretend to have an Important Meeting so I can go for a gossip.

So, a lot of things happened in 2021, not all good (obvs), but one really GREAT thing happened for me.

I'd been thinking that I'd love to host a podcast. I thought that, like *everything always is*, it would be harder and more time consuming than you might think, but still... I saw an opportunity to create a podcast for @madetech, proposed the idea, and they said yes! This was December 2020.

I started researching and experimenting. I asked the wonderful @Kat_Arney for tips, found a willing volunteer (@jessitron) and recorded the first interview.

I really enjoyed @EmilyBache’s talk about her Samman Technical Coaching technique (@CoachingSamman) yesterday at #AOTB21. Here are my notes. Samman = Swedish, means "together".

An agile journey includes technical agile, and that's the part that the Samman technical coaching method focuses on.

Great keynote from @KevlinHenney at #AOTB21, as usual packed full with interesting insights, only some of which I managed to capture...

"Agile" definition = "move quickly and easily"
...but agility is not about speed, it's about being able to respond to change. There are two things that people hate:
1. Things changing,
2. Things staying the same.
(I feel duty bound at this point to mention this also came up during @KevlinHenney's ep on our podcast:

This is a really interesting thread. I totally get what you're saying, and it makes me really sad and mad that women encounter these situations in job interviews.
But the conclusions being drawn also make me sad. I am a pathological question-asker, and I am aware that I have been judged for that, in some contexts (including interviews).
But, you know what? Sod them. The ability to ask decent questions is a core software development skill.
