Life
Had fun in Guatape – went to Pablo Escobar’s finca, which was bombed out. Eerily beautiful. Rode a jetski and got stranded. Also exploring Medellin because a friend was visiting – we went to El Castillo and Parque Arvi. Then flew to SF where I’ve been catching up with friends.
Work
This site has had a visual refresh – needs a bit more work, but I’m excited about it. Preparing and practising for workshop next week.
Started promoting the slack channel for new(-ish) eng managers, and we put our webpage up.
Media
Finished The Year Without Pants. Reading The Laws of Simplicity.
Product links Amazon.
Published
A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.
I sent Where the Hell is Cate letters from Guatape and MDE.
