I had it running on a Samsung tv for a while. It's like getting an Xbox for free. I had an old blue tooth controller and I was in.

Our CFP is up for Serverless Days Belfast. 15th May in the iconic Titanic Hotel. As per past events, it will be an incredible speaker line-up! Do you fancy being in it?? sessionize.com/serverlessda...

It's on... The finest Serverless event in the whole of Ireland (well, the only one).

The week of crazy begins....

This is an excellent point & my exact experience over the past 10 years. At first, I was amazed that a vendor would say “we want to save you money”. Coming from other vendors, I didn't believe it, but it's true. Learning how to talk to AWS is a different skill, but I advise start with honesty.

It's almost time for re:Invent - excited to meet up with a bunch of people, looking forward to doing the talk and dreading the crazy busy conference week!

I have created a Team Topologies starter pack - more folks to come soon!

Thank you, Olivier!! I’m looking forward to reading your blog - it looks brilliant!

Thank you Martin!! Nick - you know the saying “when Architects don’t have whiteboards, they do crazy things” - yes, this was a “No whiteboard? OK, we will live code instead” moment…

Glad you enjoyed it, I always enjoy the conversations with these maps.

Example wardley map from presentation at Øredev conference

Wardley Mapping is something I’ve seen around but haven’t tried myself, so it was nice to see an interactive walkthrough by @davidand393.bsky.social at #oredev. Having worked with more customer-centric strategic processes, it would be interesting to test with even more externally driven factors.

Excellent talk by @kentbeck.bsky.social and Beth Andres-Beck at #oredev Its all about Community!

Thank you! I appreciate that. I have Staff Eng & Elegant Puzzle on my book shelf. Brilliant books & beautifully bound. So much to explore and learn about in this space. I have the primer on my list.

I have had more value here in 30mins than the last 3 months of the “other” app…

More than happy to explore creating something. It’s a brilliant technique, but you have to put some constraints up for yourself early on.

I just kept trying it out with a small group - usually in groups of 2 or 3. It took a long time for it to click. Looking at other maps really helped. I did a talk at DOES a few years ago and shared ugly photos of early maps, that ended up in the book. The medium book is awesome, but it’s advanced.

Just joined bsky - this is where everyone is!! Lots of DDD goodness!
