It’s my humble opinion that not enough people have experienced the magic, mystery and mayhem of this brilliant book. So, I’m going to spread the joy to at least 1 more person by doing a giveaway. Retweet if you want the chance to win a copy! I’ll pick a winner at random in 24hrs

Discovery is a big part of the product building experience. It's part of the fun. I realize the safety of "perfect requirements", but even perfect requirements can't guarantee product or project success, just like "doing things right" doesn't mean we're "doing the right thing."

Something I've witnessed in *many* software developers is the yearning for "perfect requirements" that "don't change". It comes from a good place ("I want to be able to do a good job") but is divorced from reality. In the face of certain change, adaptability is the real skill.

I’d just like everyone to know that @united has lost track of my bag and is lying about it. My apple AirTag shows that it has been sitting in a residential apartment complex for over a day. Out back by the dumpsters, I have found other emptied United Airlines bags.

Hi folks, I’m afraid it’s time for me to say goodbye. Not just leaving Twitter, but the whole show. I’ve been battling cancer last 2 years, but now only have a few days left now. Thank you wonderful people, I leave this crazy world with much love in my heart ❤️
