David Hussman’s Tweets

Navigating complexity often requires a thoughtful collection of measures. In early XP projects I led, we balanced goals (outcomes) w/ velocity (a simple sizing tool to shorten learning cycles) Velocity in Scrumland tends toward overly certain that getting things done equals value

Velocity and outcomes are opposing incentives. If part of your org is focused on one and part on the other, you're set up to fail.

Thanks Adam - I’ll try to go out as I came in, naked and campus.

Dave I've always really appreciated your friendship and folksy wisdom. I still describe your sartorial style as "Dress-camping". You've demonstrated how to make the most out of these last months with your family. I'm lucky to have known you. Thanks for treating me so well.

Thanks Adam. I’ll try to go out as I came in, naked and folksy.

We had the honor of bringing David along for a week in Budapest. He connected with folks in a magical way. But the best part was walking the streets with him and seeing the world through his eyes: joyous wonder at everything. Dude is awesome.

2/2 - Being on a similar path to Gerry, I’m more impacted than ever. I once wrote to him in frustration. His advice to me: “stop yelling into the wind and try to expand views and actions with actions and deeds.” He grounded my challenge quickly with openness and simplicity.

1/2 - So sad to wake to the news that Gerry Weinberg has died. Along with other big hearted thinkers like

@WardCunningham

Gerry’s ideas shaped many of mine for the better and meaningfully changed how I approached human interactions actions. He will be missed.

@davidhussman thank you for the opportunity to work with you on Chicago Agile Open Space Meetups, Agile Day Chicago and being an attendee in your Agile20XX sessions. Whenever I was in the room with you, your passion for the craft is unbelievable, and I’ve learned so much from you

Yesterday, three muso buds (one being my step daughter — an ugly word) gathered in my house to talk songs for a service and it exploded into a spontaneous house jam that made my day and started us burning down the house.

Hey David, I really hope you'll get better soon. I don't know much about you other than having listened to a Test & Code podcast you made with @brianokken. I really enjoyed it and it gave me some new ideas about how to change the trajectory of my work in a better direction.

Thanks Jeff. I appreciate the kind gesture.

My final appearance at the #Agile conference was brief, virtual, and reflects the particular kind of greatness that @davidhussman has in great quantity. The entire idea exemplified his insistence that we can and therefore will do wonderful things together.

Resilience Engineering is much more than fault injection in software systems. And by much I mean: so so so much more. The bridging of the field of Resilience Engineering into the world of software engineering and operations has only just begun - this is an exciting time!

Replying to @brianhempel

Plain text vs nodes-and-edges is a false dichotomy. E.g. a spreadsheet is visually almost entirely textual (you can even hide the cell borders) yet it has a rich structure with symbolic cross-references and high-level editing operations.
