Quiet week. The team assessment repository has a lot in it and I just started looking through it.
Interesting papers about urbanism, but maybe I just say that because it confirms my bias.
Leadership
Multi-team Software Delivery Assessment - nice collection of useful team assessments, everything from team health, to delivery and security
Imposter Syndrome [Comic] – it's me
Benefits of Pulse Surveys for Remote and Distributed Teams - a bit spammy. I used to be highly sceptical, but now I am a convert. If done right and with the right communication, these can be super helpful for all teams.
Engineering
Building a Feature Education Coordination Platform at Strava - moving this from client to centralised
Technology
Lucid Emacs was released 30 years ago - happy birthday
https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/08/xscreensaver-was-released-30-years-ago/ - jwz was apparently really bored back then
Unix legend, who owes us nothing, keeps fixing foundational AWK code - I never got into awk!
Work
Remote Workers Are Wasting More Than an Hour a Day on Productivity Theater, New Report Finds - mostly the fault of managers apparently
Urbanism
Adults’ self-reported barriers and enablers to riding a bike for transport: a systematic review [Paper] – turns out everyone is mostly scared of cars
Barcelona by bike - a perfect city for cycling? - yes (all cities are)
How Does Urban Sprawl Affect Public Health? Evidence from Panel Survey Data in Urbanizing China [Paper] - and it isn't great.
Photo stream of urban design that's deliberately hostile to unhoused people - people are shite.
New variable speed limits to improve cyclist safety following fatal hit and run - a bit late, isn't it?
Random Art
Michael Heizer’s City, a vast art project in the Nevada desert 50 years in the making, will finally open to the public - I am conflicted about this. I guess this makes it art.
EuroVelo Routes Finally Available as GPX Files - this is lovely, make me want to go on a longer ride. Or just use parts of these.
