i'm up to 84 pages - time to start wrapping it up. 100 pages is optimal, 120 max

this is what I wrote:

love this voiceover :)

this is how i'm documenting MVC
I've never seen the inheritance part shown explicitly
it's from memory ... anyone find an error?

just put up my dancing vids as a playlist on my youtube channel :)

good writing day today - taking my life in my hands with "What is design quality?"

the next few

can't recall where i left off with my pics of the book i'm writing, so here is the title page and some pages i probably haven't shown yet. Tech people feel free to jump in :)
i'm pretty sure i have something wrong w the MVC discussion, likely one of you will find some things to say :)) webs for the win :) -- first of two

love this. my father had life goal to write a book that would still be read 20 year after he wrote it. He did that. This, my first book, i wrote to be still valid after 5 years (i have low goals, lol); and it's now at 25. My agile book i wrote to be still valid after 20 yrs, and happily, it still is :) So I celebrate every time one of these posts pops up :)

i'll be in europe the 1st two weeks in march, if someone would like easy access to me :)
and I know it's weekend, so I'll repeat this on Monday :)

Conway's law and design, pages. Thoughts?
also, what goes next?

just dusting off this old "information radiator" / kanban board / task list ... 8 initiatives running; major themes, minor themes, specific tasks on the outside. Done so I could scan which initiative needed attention, which task was tops .... also, was on my dining room wall, so I needed it to look a little decorative :)

of course, all the good fights are still happening on tw :))

Vivaldi would have wet himself if he had seen this:

I call them "retro-resolutions" - what surprises happened in the last year that might have made good new year resolutions last year if only you had known ?

For my 2022, i retroactively make(made?) these resolutions:

- publish one or two titles in my own imprint Humans and Technology Press (two was the answer)

- finally publish a book of poems ("Love Trio / Trio de Amor", even bilingual)

- rebuild my consulting after the lockdowns

- in-person consulting again

- teach a course to the French government in French (!!!)

- travel to a place i have never been before

all of those unsuspected on jan 1, 2022. I'm sure there are more.

What are some of your retro-resolutions for 2022?

you know, if i had to start over from scratch, i would possibly just choose 4 words that contained no reference to sw at all.

like:
collaborate - deliver - reflect - improve

and then see how that might fit different contexts.

@RonJeffries
there is a different way to look at this ... suppose we borrow what was learned from the agile sw dev crowd, and see how it applies elsewhere. Then "sw" isn't on the tin any more, and isn't even in the equation.

Sw ppl don't own the word 'agile', it was around as a fine word long before, and will be long after.

So if anyone not in sw wanted some of the same soup, what ingredients would it contain?
