In 1999, a little book by @KentBeck started explaining Extreme Programming (XP) to the masses.

23 years later, it's still true to every word.

But we, the developers, chose to ignore half of its learnings.

In this thread 🧵I'll fix that for you. 👇👇👇 The first thing you will find is the succinct definition of XP:

📖"XP is a style of software development focusing on excellent application of programming techniques, clear communication, and teamwork which allows us to accomplish things we previously could not even imagine."

There are several myths regarding raising children in more than one language.

My son is 4 years old.

We live in Barcelona. He's surrounded by Spanish and Catalan language. Yet, he speaks Bosnian like I do.

This is what I discovered about raising a multilingual child:

👇🧵 Myth #1: If they learn more than one language at the same time, they'll learn slower.

False.

Learning 1 language: N days
Learning 2 languages: WAY less than 2 x N

Think of it as a "buy one, get one free" offers in supermarkets.

Adopting agile practices was going to save the day, they said.

They were wrong.

Adopting agile PROJECT practices without accompanying them with TECHNICAL practices is putting the roof over a non-existing house.

THREAD 🧵👇 What are agile practices, BTW?

Reduce batch sizes ✅
Retrospectives ✅
Limit WIP ✅
Dailies✅
Scrum✅
Lean✅

Great and tested for building the right thing. 👍

But it says nothing on how to build the things right. 🤨

Un nyap nou de la web de T-Mobilitat. En sèrio...jo només vull utilitzar-la. És demanar molt?

Entro el meu usuari i contrasenya. No va. Canvio la primera lletra a majúscula, ja que quan em vaig registrar al mòbil, l'autocorrecció ho va posar així.

Entra!

IMPORTANT!

No només de nyaps viu el Facebook. La nostra flamant web de T-Mobilitat, també...

(acompanyeu-me en aquest viatge esgarrifós) 👇 La web de T-Mobilitat està en proves. Avui m'he registrat per a obtenir la targeta i provar allò que altres ciutats del món fa 10 anys que tenen

Os quiero explicar una curiosidad histórica de mi país de nacimiento, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Si habéis estado en Croacia de vacaciones, es probable que hayáis cruzado un pueblo pequeño llamado Neum, donde hay que pasar la frontera 2 veces.

(va hilo)
👇 Neum es un pueblo costero en el Adriático, único en Bosnia-Herzegovina. Se sitúa en los 20 km de costa del mar Adriático que tiene el país.
