I skipped a couple of these since I was on vacation. One win of that period, though, is that the vacation was amazing, despite some RV plumbing mishaps (nothing gross). Here are some wins since then:
- I disappeared for two weeks and my team at work continued to ably make progress without my help. Nothing caught on fire, no one got stuck, no one complained. It was heartening to read the scroll back in the team Slack channel and see them tackling issues, supporting each other, making good decisions. :feelsgoodman:
- The Huskies look like a much better team than last year, as well they ought. Not a personal win, but this also feels good.
- I started learning Norwegian via Duolingo. I feel a little like I’m succeeding through deduction rather than actually learning the language, but it’s early yet.
- I had a great meeting with a new Product Manager, and see real opportunity to help lead her product family into an interesting and more-obvious-for-users future.
