Ideally, there are no devs, no testers, no UXers. We’re all makers. Some of us have more in-depth knowledge of a skill, but all of us can do essential work at some level. Hyperspecialization creates silos, delays, dependencies. Agility is hard when you hobble yourself w/ that.

Here’s that moment when @pfizer’s @AlbertBourla told @margbrennan why he said “no” to taxpayer dollars: “I wanted to liberate our scientists from any bureaucracy”
Pfizer's CEO Dr. Albert Bourla explained on @FaceTheNation in September why the company didn't take money through Operation Warp Speed for R&D of a COVID vaccine:

La importancia de los gráficos sobre el coronavirus.
Hilo para mostrar:
1. La lectura contraintuitiva que la epidemia da a los datos.
2. Hay que adaptar los gráficos a lo que el público entiende.
3. La prensa (y fuentes) debería añadir el tercer tipo de gráfico que propongo.

En la región de Véneto han experimentado en un foco de contagio que realizar pruebas a todos los ciudadanos para aislar a los asintomaticos ha tumbado la propagación. Es un dato importante. Es lo opuesto de lo que decía Fernando Simón y no me sorprende ilsole24ore.com/art/veneto-c…

Software developers and designers aren't happy doing assembly line work. Calling that work "stories" is the great con of much modern agile process. A story without a beginning, a middle, or an end is a shitty one. It's more like just a scene, shot out of sequence.
