Maslow did not articulate his view of needs as a hierarchy. The hierarchy was invented by a management consultant and is a poor reading of Maslow. Prominence of needs is contextual, not chained in fixed dependencies. Following the hierarchy is almost guaranteed to cause harm.

The video from my talk at the recent #WardleyMapping conference is now available. In it I discuss how #MaturityMapping can help organisations understand the capabilities they have, the capabilities they need and the change required. youtu.be/twiiFXSmZW0

That there is such a thing as the Scientific Method is one of the biggest and most damaging myths.

Replying to @DJIGlobal
More DJI sanctions coming? I see cancellation and a consumer boycott incoming. It would not take sanctions or ban of Western sales, just a consumer boycott from the free world. I'd suggest you release a statement ASAP. bbc.com/news/technology-5970…

RIGHT after I helped organize against unethical contracts (& 2 days after returning from #disability leave), Google gave me 17 days to commit to moving to Sao Pauloβ€”or else lose my job. Over 500 workers have petitioned, but @Google has yet to rescind the act of retaliation.

reminder that if you are someone who identifies as a marginalized gender, and you are thinking of giving up on programming, please DM me. I will connect you to some SW dev teams who are working in very different ways from most of the industry.

I'm heartbroken to hear the desperately sad news that my colleague Cheryl Gillan has passed away. She had been a great source of strength as we went through chemo together. When she told me she was dying I told her all the nice things I would say so she knew...1/

Another reminder that the word β€˜ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) describes someone who loves holding forth on matters they know absolutely nothing about.

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up. One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s β€œHungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.

I’m in the Capitol. I’m safe, and my team and I are sheltering in place. The President of the United States has incited a riot that has now stormed the Capitol. There are rioters roaming the halls of the Capitol. I saw them with my own eyes. Our country deserves better.

Couldn't bear to watch the news any more so we went and made @RealDonaldTrump into a balloon you can burst yourself. Try it, it's VERY fun. AND we partnered with the incredible @ChooseLove to do it! #TheGreatUnfollow thegreatunfollow.com
