Laptops are a Scrum thing, not an Agile thing. I don't use them. So, what do I do? I use butterflies beating their wings to flip the bits directly on the servers, like all truely agile businesses do

Backlogs are a Scrum thing, not an Agile thing. I don't use them. So, what do I do? I have a conversation with my customers and business strategists (a true PM) and come up with a strategic goal based on customer and market needs. 1/4



Pay the Nurses, Pay the rail workers, Tax the rich, Fire the Tories. Not sure our priorities align as well as you think.

Halve inflation. Grow the economy. Reduce debt. Cut waiting lists. Stop the boats. Your priorities are my priorities. I will work night and day to deliver them and build a better future.



This is some avant garde joke right? Tweet progressively more absurd "I don't do the thing you do" to see where people call you out? It's impossible to work with more than 2 people if you don't at least write down somewhere what you're currently up to.

I don't use tickets. To me, a ticketing system is nothing but a detailed up-front plan, waterfall at it's worse. If I see something that needs doing, I just do it. I also don't use backlogs for the same reason.

Boris Johnson is the 3rd Tory PM in 10 yrs & leaves behind him 14m in poverty, a record number of people going hungry, a severe mental health crisis, more billionaires & gross levels of inequality. Every candidate vying to succeed him is promising to make the situation worse.


The replies to this are why I don't tweet about programming

C# programmers be like 'Nah, bro, we got no public fields'... I mean, seriously, it's no wonder some people express dissatisfaction with OO if they think this is what it means 🤦‍♂️

Hey @NHSDigital why aren't the local covid alert levels on the NHS covid app correct? All of London is high now but the app still says medium and still links to the wrong rules.

"We’ve so far succeeded in the first and most important task we set ourselves as a nation: to avoid the tragedy that engulfed other parts of the world." @BorisJohnson The UK has highest #COVID19 death toll in Europe & possibly 2nd highest in the world.
