This is also correct in theory What gets me: your ticket instantly becomes generally valid when your connection is no longer possible. So the check makes me feel like *I'm* to blame when I'm not. And since I only use this feature when my journey is obvs not going to plan, it's salt in the wound.

An app feature that really pisses me off: On the train app, when your connection is no longer feasible (due to delays), it offers you the option to search for alternatives. So far so good. When you choose one, it reminds you to check if your ticket is valid on the new connection (1/2)

The nicest thing I've learned this week is that I have pretty eyes. After 42 years of either seeing them from behind glasses, hardly seeing them without or seeing them with contact lenses.... I saw them clearly in the mirror yesterday. They're pretty 😍

Despite all my knowledge about systems, failure and testing, I would probably visit Jurassic Park.

Alex Schladebeck @alexschl.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

It's amazing and very strange! My eyes are easily overstimulated at the moment and before bed I feel I need to take my contacts out 😆 I do need to get 1+ reading glasses (this was known in advance and one of the reasons I had the surgery before I need to move to bifocals)

Current status: enjoying the world with 100% vision (short sightedness completely corrected) thanks to artificial lense implants on Wednesday. I was very nervous before the operation, but it was fine! The last days have been spent putting various eye drops in and sometimes wearing sunglasses 😎

Well today was lovely 😍 seeing the sun rise over the red sea, snorkeling with fish, seeing all the colours of blue, and swimming alongside dolphins (no touching, no going too close).

A quick stop in Braunschweig then we headed to Egypt for some much needed rest (evidenced by the monster migraine on the plane). I basically napped for 2 days straight, now I can stay awake for a good 4h at a time 😆

Next up, a contact request on linked in. With the message: I see you're CEO, that's impressive. Let's connect. Does he tell all genders that achieving c level is impressive? I ummed and ahhed about posting this. I second guess whether I'm overthinking. That too, costs energy. Gr.

This week in everyday sexism: 1.The person that cold called me asking for Mr Schladebeck. I said he'd reached Ms, he said 'perhaps you're the right person'. When he asked if I was the manager of bredex, I said:yes, but I was disappointed he hadn't researched my gender before calling. He hung up 1/2

He woke up after an hour and we had a lovely little time ❤️💕🤩

Auntie life: taking little man (2yo) to the zoo while the rest of the family run the kids xletix. I've packed more than I pack for some holidays, but currently we're chilling in the Multivan in the zoo car park because little dude fell asleep 5 mins before we arrived 😴❤️😂

Excited for girly shenanigans in November. Halloween party then seeing halestorm in Berlin the day after!

I started the morning crunching numbers (yay c level shenanigans) and spent the afternoon auntying. New tip unlocked: if the baby hides for too long, he's having a nice big poo on the floor (thankfully tiles). 😆🤩 #sundayShenanigans

That's my point though. The user story ticket is a reminder to have the conversation, and notes about what the conversation uncovered. It shouldn't replace the conversation in any way.

I don't 😂 too much respect for glue near my eyeballs

Alex Schladebeck @alexschl.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

We REALLY need to focus our conversations on value.

050

Alex Schladebeck @alexschl.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Don't get me wrong, something that could help with the 'what are we not seeing, what do we usually mess up with this topic' - that's useful. Text generation isn't, for me, where the value is at.

Alex Schladebeck @alexschl.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Having some critical thoughts about using AI to enhance your user story descriptions. Because I thought that the whole point was to have conversations, not generate text so my Jira tickets are fuller. #gtd

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

Brandon Sanderson. Don't get me wrong - he is a master of epic fantasy and I enjoy his stuff. And to be fair, I've just started this series, perhaps it changes. It just got me that it was already a thing a couple of chapters in...
