some animals I can't imagine with a tummy ache or the sniffles, they're plodders, they hold steady, keep going. Need some of that super power today.
This guy Mirko Hanák seems to have really mastered watercolor and ink, I've painted enough to see how expert this is, water and paper and color have quirky interactions that he uses well. I would love to watch a video of his process.
Don't waste valuable meeting time with lectures! Social production is the way to maximize learning that leads to significant, valuable, long-term change.
This question will be at the heart of a dedicated workshop at XP 2025 – and I’m honored to join as a panel participant.
Workshop title: "Towards a closer collaboration between practice and research in Agile Software Development – What we learnt; and what not?"
Agile has come a long way since the 1990s – from a niche software development approach to a catalyst for organization-wide transformation.
Yet two persistent gaps remain: a time gap between fast-paced change in organizations and the slower pace of academic response a theory gap regarding long-term adoption and cultural integration
This workshop, led by Michael Neumann, Maria Rauschenberger, Prof. Dr. Eva-Maria Schön, Tiago Silva da Silva, and Mali Senapathi, aims to address both. We’ll explore how to bridge the divide and build a shared, forward-looking agenda for agile research – grounded in both academic insight and lived practice.
The session combines #panel dialogue and hands-on exchange – an invitation to co-create the future of agile transformation together.
I look forward to engaging with fellow researchers and practitioners at #XP #2025. Let’s turn collaboration into impact.
I don't have the complete citation, but this #Sanskrit verse from the #Hindu epic #Mahabharata is timelessly relevant to all domains. First the English meaning and then the source text in different scripts.
Meaning: A little work done with knowledge has great import. A lot of work done with ignorance has no benefit.
E.g., a small piece of software, like a function, developed with full understanding can be very useful. OTOH, a large piece of software, like an entire service, is of no use if it's developed with no understanding of requirements or engineering principles.
