My Twitter archive of February 2019

In October 2022 I left Twitter. This is my tweet archive for February 2019.

Tweets

• Important Thread! https://t.co/pV5vPaIutp
• Just booked my my ticket for @socracan!
• @MaritvanDijk77 @socracan I have been eyeing it now for three years and I finally managed to get there. I'm really looking forward to this one.
• @realn2s @socracan @w3ltraumpirat I bookend an AirBnB (plenty available for ~40€/night) and will stay a week (24-30.4.).
• My conference schedule 2019 so far: @codefreeze_fi @EuroTestingConf @socracan @nordictestdays @SoCraTes_Conf I really do love learning about software quality!
• @MaritvanDijk77 @socracan I'll do my best! 🤞
• @NativeWired :-( What's your plan so far? Second half of 2019 is still quite empty...
• Amazing morning with the @foofighters! #SuperSaturdayNight https://t.co/r4u970Xn3Z https://t.co/f8xqVyjMiG
• @NativeWired Nice, many cool leadership topics, I'm currently less involved with leading teams and more technically occupied so that's where my current focus is on. #beyondtech looks really interesting ...
• I reworked my talks page: https://t.co/5CdXEqtMkt I hope that this information is now better available for those of you interested in what I am passionate about. If you have feedback on that page in particular (or also in general on my homepage), I'm all ears!
• @c089 I write a book review an post it as a blog.
• "We’re using DDD, BDD, TDD, Hexagonal Architecture for our design/development approach. Tech stack includes AWS, Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, etc using NodeJS (with a focus on fp)." Someone @autodesk wrote a job description close to my dream role: https://t.co/8UaJdvyFt8
• "evidence shows that Housing First has an incredible rate of success in helping people rebuild their lives" https://t.co/YVbE72V0kQ
• Good (freezing) Morning from #Trondheim! https://t.co/3ebU942A4t
• @availle @codecentric Nice :-)
• @gazebo_c @c089 Here is an example: https://t.co/vwDlxdXyN1 I don't do it for all books, but this which I find memorable. Or dangerous: https://t.co/3xwZ8EFgyC
• This reminds me to check on the status of the pattern matching proposal: https://t.co/zBnrdyQZv0 https://t.co/35vQNw6nuf
• Cool thread on #a11y: https://t.co/CjpC5ZCVbL
• @maybekatz what is a good Node.js library to compute checksums of files and/or folders?
• @vicbergquist Kick it, Vic! 💪💪
• @maybekatz Thanks!
• Yeah! The @Spotify playlist radio feature is back!
• @mattsches Ja, das geht, unter Android kann man waehlen welche SIM fuer was verwendet wird.
• I've just refactored a project to monorepo and it turned out a classic case of exchanging one problem with another. While we now have improved the ability to navigate code and simplified releasing, it involved changing the way we package releases and that now takes more time. https://t.co/lzQkxKl1GM
• I mean overall this is a good improvement, since build time can easily be tackled with computation power, while the reduced time needed to understand the code is worth much more.
• @Niklas_L It's released all together, but using multiple artifacts (it's a serverless AWS lambda solution with ~50 lambas). For reducing build time I make a checksum of all dependencies of an artifact and only rebuild if these change.
• @Niklas_L Artifacts are cached so that other developers don't need to rebuild the same artifact. The next optimization would be to allow development builds being done remotely so that you can parallelize it (we have a cloud that can do this).
• If you want to learn how the US is fucking up a very fine democracy and pathetically disguises it as acting out of democratic reasons while accepting that hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans will die in the course, listen to the latest episode of the @intercepted podcast.
• @intercepted https://t.co/72EcAdUxsZ
• Long but good read on how to structure a decision making process: https://t.co/IAtwIlxEf1
• How to Talk to Women in Tech on the Internet: https://t.co/W13ZQrIcwT
• Online relations are real relations: https://t.co/v3nGu7rWvM
• Also for these reasons I am happy that we now have @ConfBuddy ... which I am offering to be at every conference I am attending. https://t.co/QVrMffST1Q
• @ChrisChinch @ConfBuddy Yes, it would be fantastic. Unfortunately it's sometimes because of other bad experiences that people are not open. I guess we only can try to set a good example, and see it proliferate.
• fix: update dependencies #javascript https://t.co/E0Zs5mc1hE
• From the @DeptofDefense comes this great document on detecting #agile bullshit: https://t.co/RapiBjdX7b "... how to detect software projects that are really using agile development versus those that are simply waterfall or spiral development in agile clothing". Some takeaways:
• "Key flags that a project is not really agile: - Nobody on the software development team is talking with and observing the users of the software in action; we mean the actual users of the actual code. (The [Product Owner] does not count as an actual user."
• "- Continuous feedback from users to the development team (bug reports, users assessments) is not available. Talking once at the beginning of a program to verify requirements doesn’t count!"
• "- Meeting requirements is treated as more important than getting something useful into the field as quickly as possible."
• "- DevSecOps culture is lacking if manual processes are tolerated when such processes can and should be automated (e.g. automated testing, continuous integration, continuous delivery)."
• It also provides a set of questions to ask development teams and management: "- Who are your users and how are you interacting with them? - What is your (current and future) cycle time for releases to your users?"
• "- What are your management metrics for development and operations; how are they used to inform priorities, detect problems; how often are they accessed and used by leadership? - Who are the users that you deliver value to each sprint cycle? Can we talk to them?"
• "- Is feedback from users turned into concrete work items for sprint teams on timelines shorter than one month?"
• It even has a nice flowchart on how to detect #agile bullshit: https://t.co/nrIFgWTTjc
• @cowglow @dilgerma @w3ltraumpirat @mixcloud Or https://t.co/T0ZmDmC8Gb
• Next week I am flying to Valencia to speak @EuroTestingConf: https://t.co/CqjCd1f608 I'd like to especially thank @nelisboucke and @availle for their feedback they gave during my trial run @codefreeze_fi! 🙏 Having people take time to formulate feedback is a true gift! https://t.co/1mI46SQOgc
• Adding more @swear_trek GIFs to my presentation... BECAUSE I CAN! https://t.co/diPqgAXXGN
• @mirjam_diala @swear_trek Go the fuck over there to get them fucking all: https://t.co/gJwkVZmyHm https://t.co/lnAKPW9dGj
• @MkKueper @swear_trek @mirjam_diala https://t.co/ckYbVwRjEn
• @realn2s Aug 22-25 2019
• Also a lovely German word: Knopfzellenbatterie = Coin-Cell-Battery. https://t.co/hVJTNxsvPf
• @MaritvanDijk77 @swear_trek https://t.co/QcySL9o4FK
• Is it only me or has the majority of shared content on tech Twitter become more and more around frontend techniques? I barely see anyone talking/blogging about #backend stuff in my timeline. Which accounts do you recommend to follow?
• What I love about the second season of The Punisher is that his action is turned into background noise through the strong and complex female characters. Really cool! https://t.co/98w6ey5vYk
• @EmmaWedekind @Frontend_Love @vuejsamsterdam Banksy at Moco Museum https://t.co/YlrlSFwVy9 Pizza at MangiAmore https://t.co/heKM3v2XaO Craft Beer at Foeders https://t.co/k2pxvmrviW
• @alipasha @nordicapis Yes, but I am interested in individuals.
• I use this great post by @nataliewarnert when talking to conferences about them not covering travel expenses for speakers: https://t.co/JYqnNDaTz3 #askForPay instead of #payToSpeak
• @onkelkodi Yes: I'd love to read more about backends written in #JavaScript. and No: software architecture is interesting in all languages.
• I guess I picked the perfect time to be going to #EuroTestConf now! Looking forward to some sunny days in Valencia! https://t.co/dLq7IzLgbE
• I picked a good book as my travel companion to #EuroTestConf https://t.co/f4r5ODYvU9
• Fun fact, I have stored passwords for 35 Twitter accounts. 🤪
• #EuroTestConf pre-conference Session w/ @_queen https://t.co/NblsL5tI3P
• Hello Valencia! 🇪🇸 #EuroTestConf https://t.co/XC2jLJJuFY
• @jrosaproenca @_queen Oh, that sounds the worst tourist shuttle... Our flight from Munich with @lufthansa was half empty and very classy!
• fyi, #rheinmainrocks: der @gruenderhub Account wird jetzt von @startupradioDE betreut.
• Haven't finished it completely yet, but OMFG the greatest thing there is that it shows concrete, measurable goalpoasts OF TECHNICAL NATURE which lead to better, happier, healthier teams. We are TECHIES, WE CAN UNDERSTAND AND DO THIS! NO EXCUSE. https://t.co/5GRFqWBGIb
• @Niklas_L It's a short read (~10hrs)... If you skip the chapter about the statistical method.
• @mirjam_diala Thank you! I'm just returning from the speakers dinner and @maaretp put together such an amazing cast of speakers, I definitely will!
• @mirjam_diala @maaretp No, unfortunately not. I will live-tweet from as many as I can, but you need to come to the next one. This is most likely THE conference for you!
• @w3ltraumpirat @Niklas_L Ok, thanks for that nudge. I'll unskip it!
• Off to a good start for #EuroTestConf https://t.co/wO2xQH6Wqi
• #EuroTestConf does it right: space for pronouns and other important add-ons on the badge! https://t.co/e7vqhgTSd3
• #EuroTestConf kick-off with @a_bangser. Here the SpeedMeet is mentioned which will happen later, a super awesome way to connect with other attendees! https://t.co/XNSXvPBNuq
• In the #EuroTestConf by @techgirl1908 where she tells us a story about testing the untestable: https://t.co/0sXMsk5ZPY
• As a tester in a company without a cultural understanding of what testers do, it needs a strategy how to engage all in thinking about good tests.
• Quick fix for the itchy lanyard: duct tape. Always bring duct tape wherever you go. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/YDzbLo8X3W
• Company has no budget for deticated test resources? No problem, just test in production! (@techgirl1908 has the best GIFs, btw!) https://t.co/dhbxYcoOZl
• Because, what if testing in production means serving an Ad to the wrong target audience (the adserver is the unit under test)? This will be an expensive mistake. So ... limit blast radius by serving only to certain accounts!
• Sometimes as a tester you have to ask for features that make your life as a tester easier because developers tend not to share the perspective of your role. #EuroTestConf
• Testers are the badass 🦄 in every team: they are the user's advocate and demand from developers important technical capabilities. As a developer you definitely want them to be in your team and help them make a great job. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/SpQFJ1lBwQ
• .@LazyTesting talks about contract based testing, because testing #Microservices is like herding cats. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/PFmLQ5h2sv
• Contract based testing gives you asynchronous, independent testing capabilities. It lets you test your implementation without depending on collaborators outside of your control. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/GbqX7mRfgu
• @mirjam_diala @techgirl1908 Yes! Angie is a fantastic story teller and manages to convey a lot of experience and inspire effortlessly!
• #EuroTestConf speed meet: https://t.co/AXZpQMlg3v
• Look at all the new connections in the making! #EuroTestConf https://t.co/kSBhDoc3gt
• Badass T-Shirt! 🤘 #EuroTestConf https://t.co/z8mFwDrWpo
• @fbuontempo @MaritvanDijk77 @maaretp @malk_zameth @malk_zameth ?
• @RealIvanSanchez I found the place where they grow: https://t.co/IKUilFXfia
• Lunch time with amazing food! #EuroTestConf https://t.co/kaaPrxHzps
• I met a Belgian @EuroTestingConf and OF COURSE @amedee ist best friends with the other huge Belgian I know, @RidingWolf. https://t.co/y4LufCA6Pb
• Let's get our hands dirty in the workshop with @2bittester on Approval Testing. https://t.co/sDOQK2IY0T #EuroTestConf https://t.co/mZLeg9lTAT
• Here is a repo designed to help people practise using Approval testing techniques to create Approval testing based tests or update their current asserts to be better at feeding back changes within an application: https://t.co/RLxUrBBIZ4 #EuroTestConf
• Just a friendly reminder for tomorrow's #EuroTestConf workshop attendees: download and install the required software / source code *and dependencies* in advance. The bandwidth is rather limited. https://t.co/q0T3ZvY7gA
• Approval testing forces you to look at the entire output of your system under test, where with unit tests you are actively choosing what to look for-which means you can miss errors or unwanted changes. #EuroTestConf
• Wrapping up the workshop on approval testing, it's a powerful tool, with some caveats: #EuroTestConf https://t.co/B1UqtbvTNn
• My talk @EuroTestingConf about testing #CloudNative systems starts in 15 minutes, and here are my slides: https://t.co/XHijP6cdZP
• I'm really lucky to have @Singsalad as my session host @EuroTestingConf. They do everything to make me feel extra comfortable here. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/zrxsjkKCWc
• Now: lean coffee! #EuroTestConf https://t.co/VthCcwKAf3
• @morvader @EuroTestingConf Thank you, glad that you liked it!
• @fgortazar @alex_schl @EuroTestingConf Thank you! Would love to learn about your experiences! Let's meet later over drinks!
• I've been waiting for this talk: @sarahjwells talks about quality for #CloudNative systems. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/PAhLtkhXEL
• @ClareSudbery Thank you! 😊
• @_Seba__ Thanks! 🤘
• Yes, I still ♥️ unit tests! https://t.co/f0P218vgIS
• @jrosaproenca I've been writing integration tests for years, so for me this is the least worst approach I know. But I really would love to learn about alternatives! Let's talk later!
• 🔥· λ = 🙋‍♂️ https://t.co/4Zvbk0GS4h
• @a_bangser Thank you for this feedback! It's great to see that my Google Drive drawing skills are good for something!
• It's important to make this statement: too many conferences are still a brofest. https://t.co/oDBpsJXuNU
• Norway: it's not the dark, cold place your mother told you about! https://t.co/no13VWP0ks
• True. https://t.co/LWOzdDmUMY
• The FT built all of this themselves, because it improves developer agility tremendously. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/c6kaBjIkcL
• Built confidence in being able to fix issues in production will make you innovate faster. @sarahjwells points to this article: https://t.co/IcAuHJsjCG #EuroTestConf
• The FT monitors the behaviour of the production system continuosly to spot problems which otherwise would be to expensive or impossible to test. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/zNhM9qORf2
• Here is a blog post on testing in production that Sarah recommends: https://t.co/bKgH7j7TtP #EuroTestConf
• 🙏 #EuroTestConf https://t.co/u3APrwlLJb
• Another anecdote on: it does not run on my machine! 👇 https://t.co/CpSaIIgxt5
• @moshjeier @a_bangser Yes, and some laws (hello GDPR) could be interpreted as not to allow testing with user data. On the other hand, simulating production workloads can be challenging.
• @RealIvanSanchez Look, I met your double! @micael_gallego https://t.co/rjJ5a0YAZR
• @bberrycarmen Thank you Rachel, it was amazing and inspiring to meet you! Awesome to get to connect like this after only being connected digitally.
• A global community, which connects locally. This is a love story in the making. https://t.co/02BxvlWMzY
• Come to @EuroTestingConf, where we make professions irrelevant and facilitate the discussion about what matters most: happy people who earn their living using computers.
• @jrosaproenca @kriscorbus @sarahjwells @LazyTesting @jess_ingrass 🖤
• @mirjam_diala https://t.co/kLJdML3aT0
• @benjamin please meet @temorel, she thinks her CTO might be a good addition to your podcast! Mor, this is Benjamin's podcast: https://t.co/qYV9VmKSwz
• @tottiLFC @jrosaproenca We both share the some opinion: for us it's the best technique to write good e2e tests. #EuroTestConf
• Excited to be listening to @SalFreudenberg talking about #remote mob programming. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/cwT7gCdVzG
• She won Hack Manchester, with an all-women team and making time for breaks and sleep. You can create exciting results without crunch time! #EuroTestConf https://t.co/tpFzmVA2Ch
• Being able to work remotely enables her to adjust the amount of social interaction to a sustainable level. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/GFMR3XHij1
• Mobbing remote misses the physical space as a communication medium. Her team uses RealtimeBoard as a virtual whiteboard. #EuroTestConf
• "Remote Mob programming is the most inclusive environment I have ever worked in!" @SalFreudenberg #EuroTestConf
• @rubendm23 @EuroTestingConf @socracan Sure, i'll be there!
• @lisacrispin Yes! I love it, too!
• @alexboly @lucianadrian Yes sure, I mention that in my talk. We use a lot of serverless components, not just "machine instances". These are not available on premise. If you need pure computation / storage there are solutions.
• @lucianadrian @PapaMinos @EuroTestingConf Wow, thank you for that feedback, Lucian! 🤙
• Now I'm learning from @fgortazar how they test their cloud-based video chat solution. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/jAgVBQDAtc
• Haha, @HeisenbugConf has the best note on the topics that the cover: "We guarantee that there'll be no Agile, Scrum and team management stuff." https://t.co/POD3gSwVMt
• Yeah @Twitter, I do normally not switch the language I speak when I travel to another country. https://t.co/JY2rmBhHrk
• It's important to provide metrics and logs in a way they can easily be used to debug what went wrong. Especially if your are testing end to end. #EuroTestConf
• Make sense of your data and provide custom dashboards for your use case. This helps you to understand the capabilities of your system. https://t.co/hzVqAU4r8H
• https://t.co/nCv0zQ8EEx is a free and open-source tool which simplifies this task and provides collection and visualization in one easy to use suite. #EuroTestConf
• @lucianadrian @HeisenbugConf I wouldn't put it this way. Agile is great! I do love to talk about management stuff. But setting the scope like is a good way to ensure what to expect. I don't mind only hearing deep technical topics for once.
• Good exploratory testers actually have heuristics they apply when testing systems. @alex_schl shares hers. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/Fmw3Uh7jlx
• In order to teach others the way we work, observing your own actions and behaviour is key. If you identify a pattern, document it and keep exercising it in a structured way to get comfortable that you framed it right. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/mG9fJEjDkg
• Now we have a 1.5hr/3 session open space! #EuroTestConf https://t.co/Dq5jJklqLH
• Here are the fantastic sketchnotes by @marianneduijst for @SalFreudenberg's session: #EuroTestConf https://t.co/dZoYCdrMC6
• So cool! @ClareSudbery sketchnoted my session in @marianneduijst's intro session to sketchnoting during the open space. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/NeTLMEYsT6
• @_Seba__ https://t.co/paTB8y4XXH
• Closing keynote by @AshColeman30 and her story as a black woman in tech. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/glWV1D4asN
• @bberrycarmen Very cool! It's such an awesome initiative, great that you take the time to help others. 💪
• Tech does not have a specific culture, it has the culture of the people that make up the community. If we want to understand cultural effects and problems, we need to look at who the people in tech are. #EuroTestConf https://t.co/C8z4J3ixVL
• The full diverse tech team: (Who of you works in a company that is like that?!) #EuroTestConf https://t.co/tiUfcbwqBH
• #Diversity 👏 is 👏 everybody's 👏 responsibility 👏 ! -- @AshColeman30 #EuroTestConf
• @ClareSudbery @marianneduijst 😍 https://t.co/RBW6IjRcDu
• @alexschnapper @EuroTestingConf Thank you Alex, what you hear on Twitter by far does not reflect how truly amazing this conference is. If you have software in your heart, you HAVE to come.
• Hei! Take the time to submit your proposal to JS Camp Barcelona! They are doing a lot to support people from underrepresented groups and this is your chance to make a difference in how conferences look like. If you are hesitant, go to a @gdcfpday on March 2nd! We will help you! https://t.co/zhPsBxJtCB
• @BogdanCostea @alexboly @lucianadrian Quite some effort to prove that an architecture is portable. What's the point in that? I'd argue that any architecture is portable.
• @lucianadrian @BogdanCostea @alexboly No, no. It's totally right that we rub our magic software onto hardware and hope that it does something!
• In case you want to watch the whole talk: https://t.co/0LBeE5A26n
• @JokinAspiazu @EuroTestingConf @Flywire Thank you for being such awesome hosts!
• Leaving #Valencia 🇪🇸 and now at the airport. I took this day to explore the city a little bit, and here are some pictures! It's was a beautiful warm and sunny day. Thank you @EuroTestingConf for bringing me here! 😘 https://t.co/9142EOmtUe
• https://t.co/gn8XL6NE7b
• @AnnaKat_Ze Mein Insta hast Du ja auch schon gefunden ;-) War ein Mega Tag heute. ☀️
• At the security check: "Es ese Queso?" Of course do I have fucking 3 kilo cheese and sausages in my carry on. I live in Norway! #eurotestconf
• @restrex Sure, it's totally legal to transport food within the EU.
• @restrex For example you can bring 10kg of food into Norway free of charge. But no potatoes.
• If there is one takeaway from #EuroTestConf it is #o11y - and not only because @a_bangser is super great in explaining why it matters. I will definitely investigate best practices and how to make the software I create better observable! (Is that how to say it?) > https://t.co/pZk5LsfyGQ
• I guess this ties in very well into data driven decisions and therefore everybody can benefit from that, not only testers.
• @MaritvanDijk77 Thank you! You made something amazing, again!
• Hello Berlin! 🇩🇪
• Seems it's not expected to have foreign mobile phone number @VBB_BerlinBB ... :/ https://t.co/maJ6ArkTGt
• Also this error message is confusing. It kinda tells me that 1. I have not provided a phone number 2. the phone number is too long 3. No hint where to actually provide one https://t.co/03U2Tk9wkC
• @EuroTestingConf @techgirl1908 @sarahjwells @SalFreudenberg @AshColeman30 @lisacrispin @melthetester @charrett @2bittester @ClareSudbery @alex_schl @vds4 @yatil @jess_ingrass @JitGo @LazyTesting @laechoppe @fgortazar @malk_zameth @lucianadrian s/speakers/friends/ ♥️
• @NothingMatress There is a potato disease in Europe which does not exist yet in Norway. They want to keep it out.
• @EmmaWedekind This stopped once I did no longer track stats. I do not care anymore about reaching certain numbers.
• @EmmaWedekind And my mantra is: it's the right time when it is done, not earlier. I'm not getting paid for it, but it's my spare time, so it better be a good time for me as well and should not stress me out.
• A very memorable #ETCMoment for me was sitting in the open space session with @a_bangser, @ezagroba and @ClareSudbery and fanboying so much because I got to talk with passionate crafters like me. These 30 minutes were over way too fast!
• @jrosaproenca Thanks for listening and your input, I had an amazing time learning from you!
• I got a goosebump #ETCmoment when @JokinAspiazu introduced his team and you could tell that he put so much passion into growing a culture that focuses on building strong and long-lasting relationships. This is what matters in our job more than everything else.
• Watching @alex_schl talk on heuristics and how to turn hunches into something teachable reinforced my impression that we as an industry suck at teaching but there is no easy solution - and I should spend more time on this topic. #ETCmoment
• #ETCMoment https://t.co/uEyxjjzVwU
• @lisacrispin Thank you for having the urge to keep learning!
• On my way back to Norway 🇳🇴! I am so privileged that I can travel around #Europe and I have awesome friends to meet everywhere ... https://t.co/0WzHAWFQjv
• SXF is the shittiest airport I know.
• Nice, no more [WIP] in the title: https://t.co/joevXHL855

• @liran_tal This made me click on your jobs page, @anna_debenham ...
• @liran_tal @anna_debenham Sweet mother of good, you are hiring by the truckload!
• @datenreisender Not enough ;-)
• @lauralindal https://t.co/yC5EkdOOHq hat das, da bestelle ich immer unbedruckte Shirts fuer Marketing.
• Great thread on CFPs! https://t.co/prjF25QUwA
• @AnnNat Please wear a helmet! ⛑️
• .@travisci is getting gutted: https://t.co/jNg83iu63b
• @emsuiko @coding_nerd did this a while ago as @coding_night with great success. It has been discontinued because AFAIR lack of organizer resources. So, got for it!
• Crazy weather right now in #Trondheim: https://t.co/HTE9QzIbRR
• @npmjs I love you, and I am responsible for all of my team members having a paid seat at our npm org (which took me a lot of convincing), but putting no pricing information for Enterprise on https://t.co/BSVHbAl818 whatsoever, makes me definitely NOT want to contact sales.
• https://t.co/TteMyYRX0c is a great resource for people who have a hard time enjoying conferences. @ailon gives a lot of very practical tips (like: travel light, arrive a few days early) so that introverts can get the most out of this stressful experience. 👏
• Here is a thing I just realized: #conflicts within teams are inevitable and I should be paying much more attention to them then I did in the past, where I mostly tried a lot to avoid them or quickly resolve them because I thought they were not constructive. I am so wrong. >
• Here is a typical cause for a conflict: 1. I am experienced, so I want my team members to follow my lead. 2. They should however question my decisions, because I could hold an outdated view. There is no way that a collaboration can work without a conflict, it's built in.
• A system like a business who wants to continuosly improve will always have this conflict: working based on past experiences is efficient, going a different route costs more energy but can lead to innovation. Now I *know* that conflicts are inevitable and a useful process.
• The issue I see with my past handling of conflict was that I saw them as an avoidable exception and they needed to be resolved as quickly as possible. Instead I think I should spend much more time on using conflicts to advance the "state of knowledge" within a project.
• I never reseatched a lot about that aspect of my work and how to make conflict resolution a learning experience. I know of teams that have written down conflict resolution workflows, which is something that I imagine to be very helpful, because it increases everyone's awareness.
• It would be super interesting to know of you have this at your workplace and if your receive regular training on conflict. Is conflict institutionalised or ignored at your workplace? What do you think about this topic?
• @Kdegani Thanks Karan, sounds like you have already a shared understanding in your team about conflicts! 👌
• @gazebo_c I now understand that this is not easy for me because I have a reservation against conflicts which stem from the way I grew up. I have the very negative experience that conflicts were always destructive and violent. I try to prevent myself and others from experiencing this again.
• @gazebo_c I have the feeling that most have this bias against conflict and never learned (and I mean actually receive formal training in school, and during higher education) on how to turn this into something useful.
• @gazebo_c Nobody wants people screaming at each other at work (I have had this in teams) that's why we have so many "leave your emotions at home" workplace. To protect us. But this only happens because the screamers have no other way of dealing with conflict.
• @gazebo_c Thank your for taking the time to read my ramblings! 🙏
• @jayallanjethwa Yes, for detecting misunderstandings I use principles from non-violent communication and 4 sides model: first introspect to see if I am getting triggered and my feelings overshadow actual meaning, and always double check for assumptions. Helps me a lot to not let things boil.
• @foofighter75 @zuehlke_group @m3mitsuppe @develUXiness Oh Tobi this is amazing, thank you. I'll reserve extra time for that the next time I am in Hamburg!
• @RealIvanSanchez Yeah, I guess Scandinavian companies are rather inexperienced in dealing with conflicts. :/
• @datenreisender @gazebo_c @reworkpodcast Thanks, I'll check it out!
• I'm so much looking forward to this talk from Aki! https://t.co/tKiSiIj1kO
• @J7mbo Yes, that's why it's not helpful if only some individuals in a team are trained / aware of techniques. I think this should be trained as part of onboarding new team members and constantly revisited (like we do today with all technical processes anyway).
• @J7mbo Dealing with irrational conflicts is easy for me, because I can identify them easily (lack of logical reasoning, use of power language). Then I use learnings from Non Violent Communication Rosenberg to figure out what the underlying needs are.
• @J7mbo In my experience a conflict like this can be defused by focusing the discussion on what I need and how the other people can help me. I turn their position from an opponent into a mentor / teacher / provider. This changes their perspective and helps to move the discussion.

• @J7mbo Maybe, but this way I resolve the conflict into something useful. I am not their therapist.
• Core Protocols, like Holocracy, is IMO way to technocratical and therefore feels very inhuman when applied. It is however one of the few approaches to address conflicts in a structured approach. I'd love to hear about similar systems! https://t.co/bgOBwssago https://t.co/TV5eA6f9Bu
