We are the workers of this new world! Here we go!! How? Are we ready? With so many things happening… layoffs, toxic management and companies… lack of trust and transparency… how can we start this “new-world-knowledge-worker” journey?
I have a take on this…
At first I believe we need a minimum set of skills to play this game.
I would choose these:
One of the great contributions of eXtreme Programming to the Agile world, IMHO, is the metaphor discipline. When we are building software, we are not just coding APIs, calling URLs with a defined payload and waiting for a resulting JSON document or a set of errors.
Well, if you are a task based developer you may just be doing that… I understand that.
But… for real, we are solving a business problem, even if we decide to solve the problem building something generic. So we should learn more about the business.
(mais…)Are you ok about being lonely?
From time to time I catch myself thinking about this.
Would you dance with yourself?
(mais…)Actually the important thing is if the ghosts believe in themselves.
That’s Ted Lasso’s motivation I know, but I have some motivation for you too.
If it’s your mission, if it’s something you feel the need to do… who are these people that tell you not to do?
(mais…)Do you remember Yoda?
Do or do not. There’s no try.
Yoda
I totally agree on that… but if I fail or miss something while doing it… I see myself in a “not yet” mode. Let me expand this.
(mais…)Let’s look at the definition of reactivity, according to wikipedia: “…the chemical reactions of two or more substances that interact with each other…“. And of course, I’m using a definition that can help me talk about creativity and realism as two types of substances that can create a reaction?
(mais…)You can lead. Actually we can’t live without leading.
(mais…)
