Smoky Confit Tomato and Lemon Pasta

🍽️ Loved making and eating this one. The ancho chiles and the lemon zest peels gave it a unique flavor. I went with far less oil (1/2 to 2/3 cup). The sauce was perfectly glossy.

🪐📚💙 Really enjoying The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman. That is all.

Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement.

Psychological safety REQUIRES:

* disagreement and debate
* setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them
* telling people things they don't want to hear
* courage, from the bottom up
* humility, from the top down

@charity.wtf Thank you for the PILE of stickers, as promised.

Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Adam M. Grant The #1 New York Times bestseller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers...

Laid up for the weekend. Upside: making progress on a copy of "Originals" by Adam Grant that someone gifted to me. 📚

Nice to see research backing the sometimes counterintuitive lessons I've learned in my career.

github.com/lucahammer/t... worked well for deleting all of my data on that other site while keeping my account active so someone else can't claim it after 30 days (until someone changes the rules ...)

Same. Took a chance on it and it paid off. Definitely more of a weekend vs weeknight recipe because of the cooking time. Prep was relatively simple.

🍽️ Rice and Squash Bombe. Came out looking decent and tasting good.

No free lunches. No silver bullets.

🍽️ Last night's Riso al Forno alla Pizzaiola (according to NYT Cooking). Simple comfort food.

There was plenty of mingling of the chicken and potato flavors even with the parchment paper.

Sheet-Pan Chicken and Potatoes With Feta, Lemon and Dill (Published 2019)

🍽️ Last night's. But I like feta and dill so ours was a bit heavier in those departments. 😊

Very kind of you. Thank you 🫵 (y'all!) for all the writing, thinking, sharing on the topic over the years.

You did have me at 'snarky' 🙊

Cranberry-Orange Chicken

🍽️ Change of flavor pace. Sweet, tart, savory. Side of cheddar and chives mashed potatoes went well with it.

Alright. Here's my attempt at a "Software Observability Roundup"

blog.parente.dev/software-obs...

Why? See the intro.
Criticism 👉 @parente.dev so I can improve!
Kudos 👉 @mipsytipsy.bsky.social, @hazelweakly.me, @boristane.bsky.social, @jeremymorrell.dev, @aparker.io ... I'm just aggregating!

First time I've had one. 50% progress through the book suggests I "strongly agree!"

The "Is this a pigeon?" meme template with text replaced saying "Me", "Libby letting me skip the line today for The Midnight Library", and "Is this required reading for New Years resolutions?"

🍽️ Repeat winners from the past couple nights. Fantastic flavors.

Tonight? A night off from cooking for New Year's Eve. 🍸

Read and digested about 15 posts. Now trying to formulate a brief lit review (1) to invite public critique of my understanding and (2) to hopefully broaden some org thinking about problems and our ability to quickly, easily, cheaply solve them at work.

Part way through. Loving the many angles of "What problem are we solving?" from technical to organizational across posts by @mipsytipsy.bsky.social , @hazelweakly.me, and @boristane.bsky.social (so far). 🤩

Bonus: Tangent-tagged a whole trove of papers by @grimalkina.bsky.social as #to-read.

TIL about utteranc.es by @jd.town. So now my blog has comments.

Unboxing all the posts I have saved in Obsidian about observability "2.0(+?)". Wondering if any share experience migrating from a 1.0 vendor / platform / setup (e.g., demo-ing the value prop, operating prod systems during the transition). Maybe pointless Qs once I read more

I built a little @cityofdurhamnc.bsky.social building permit viewer app using @streamlit.bsky.social . The city's ArcGIS open data portal can do a lot more. I find this app simpler and faster for my needs.
