Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today! Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

Most teams have a gap that's easy to miss: everyone works on the same system, but nobody has quite the same picture of it. Diagrams go stale. Docs sit unread. And the same conversations keep happening in meetings.

When I started working, I noticed that companies were not great at having meetings and making decisions. So I started digging into decision-making theory. In this episode, I sat down with @roundcrisis.com to unpack why decision-making processes often fail the people they are meant to help. [1/2]

Inspiring: Superb effort by Jono Ridler swimming to stop bottom trawling. So far 800+ km. He swam from the top of NZ North Island towards Wellington (Currently he's near Gisborne) More information about the swim progress as well as the impetus behind it in the website www.swim4ocean.com
A map of the North Island of New Zealand with the route Jono Ridler is to follow. It tracks the coast on the east side from the start point in Waikuku Beach all the way down to Wellington
