Back in Melbourne circa 2010/11, Jodie, Jared and I used to run a [monthly vegan mentoring group][vegan-month]. I have gone back through the mailing lists and collected much of the curriculum and information from the program into this single document, so that I can distribute it more widely. The program was designed not just to get you through the first month nutritionally, but to expose you to a variety of foods and ideas that may be new to you. It emphasises that veganism is a shift sideways, not a sacrifice.

Design By Committee

I clearly remember my first day at EdgeCase, over four years ago. I was new to Ruby, Rails, Vim, Agile, and -- more than anything -- pair programming. It was one of the most painful working days of my career. I was convinced I'd made a terrible decision. I was completely overwhelmed, my confidence was shot, and I dreaded coming in on day two. Of course it got much better. Over time I gained experience and confidence with Ruby, Rails, and Vim. I got comfortable with the continually evolving agile project flow at EdgeCase. Obviously, I fell in love with EdgeCase and the team I was a part of. But I never got used to

Process vs. Friction

"Programmers hate process"

You've heard this mantra before, right? Don't bog programmers down in process, just let them get stuff done. Back when I lived in the corporate IT world, we would joke that any problem could be solved with more process. Indeed, at the time it seemed that was management's solution to everything.

But what does this statement even mean? It's started to grate on me because it

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to hire a personal trainer. The interaction did not go quite how I expected.

---

Me: So, I'm looking to get buff. I mean big changes. I want to turn heads when I take my shirt off. I've got a trip coming up in three months, so I need to start training as soon as possible.

Trainer: I can definitely help you with that!
