209 - Supply chains and inflection points

We're at a strange time in history for software development and engineering.

208 - Process is the backbone of organisations

Welcome back, apologies for not sending a newsletter out last week, but I was on holiday and tanning myself on the beach. As a reward, a slightly longer than normal newsletter for you.

206 - Too excited to write coherently

This newsletter is short for a couple of reasons.

205 - Determining whether you have good policies and processes

I’m not a huge fan of certifications.

204 - Treat data like toxic waste

How do we learn stuff?

198 - Controlling access to the things that matter
