by Mattias Skarin
pragprog.com/titles/...

Leverage insights and expertise from five real-world Kanban case studies to decrease time to market, improve engagement, and save your people and projects.

I am only 2 chapters in, but I feel the Ash book from @pragprog.com is teaching me to write really good Phoenix code along with all the Ash stuff. As an Elixir beginner I really appreciate that.

I helped with the technical review of this book! While it focuses on the technical nuts & bolts of setting up A/B tests, when paired with Human-Centered Design, it becomes a powerful way to gather meaningful data and see which features are working or need iteration. Check it out from @pragprog.com

Just learned about rubyfriends.app (via a @pragprog.com news letter by @pragdave.bsky.social).

Nice idea. Will create an account. #Ruby #ConnectToPeople #Conferences
