I also enjoyed the podcast with Marshall Goldsmith.
Leadership
When there's a Re-org [TikTok] - not funny!
Screw SCRUM: Guide to Building a Truly Agile Organization [Podcast] - don't actually screw scrum
TBM 30/52: Why Don’t We Have a Strategy? - "The problem is that there are disincentives to thinking strategically."
A Customer-Focused Approach to Tooling - platform teams should treat their output as products with a focus on developers as customers
Visualize team-code alignment: reverse engineer your organization from version-control - a great idea ... I am slightly worried what this would show though
#142 Marshall Goldsmith: The Essentials Of Leadership [Podcast] - Great insight on leadership and life. He is a bit too proud of himself at times. I would like to read his books now though.
What are your company's anti-values? - very good point. What are we not doing when we focus on something. I think the agile manifesto also gets this right.
Work
What It’s Like Working a Four Day Work Week and How We Spend Fridays Off - spoiler: it's nice
Panel interviews don’t work - because of stress and groupthink. I think sometimes they are also just used as a time saving solution
Environment
Extreme heat around the world in videos, photos and graphics - we are in fire season again and it is too hot to leave the house during the day
Urbanism
The big idea: should cars be banned from cities? - not that big of an idea :-)
Spain to fully subsidize Renfe train tickets from September to December - I wish they would think about something more sustainable and also increase the network instead.
I'm A Car Enthusiast That is Starting to Hate Cars. Here's Why. [YouTube] - "Cars are actually terrible"
Wales set to reduce default speed limit to 20mph in residential areas - nice
The Plan to Change Amsterdam [YouTube] - interesting ... thinking about the whole area as one city
Why Barcelona Looks Weird [YouTube] - I didn't realise that the blocks should have been openings on at least two sides
Brussels Government approves first version of Good Living - this seems to be utopia. How will they get this past the NIMBYs?
Does Anyone Actually Cycle in Switzerland!? [YouTube] - more and safer infrastructure -> more cyclists
Random Ships
Lifestyles - cool story. The goal and incentives are the same, but the outcome is very different. I also love the last quote:
“Everyone else can stress out about outperforming each other,” he says. “I just like Europe.”
Ableton Co-Founder Robert Henke Says It’s Time To Reconsider ‘Underrated’ Compact Disc Format - what about USB sticks?
‘Europol ploy’: mass phone scam defrauds Germans of millions of euros - the called me too
Google One now has premium Google Workspace features - nice ... when it arrives in Europe
