Continuous Learning

  • https://twitter.com/an0xff - weekly cross-team meetings with 3 minute 'daily-style' intro round per person and 1-2 deep dive topics with 30-45min each where people present new things and discuss possibilities to apply/integrate them.
  • https://twitter.com/paolizq - Coding dojos to increase software craftsmanship and knowledge on programming tools.
    • codingdojo.org/kata/ At the beginning you can start with simple katas. It also helps to have people with different skill levels and it is very important when pointing out errors or improvements to not be annoyed, impatient or condescending.
    • Basically foster an environment of openness and point out that everyone is there to learn.
  • https://twitter.com/robert_we - Switching responsibility for components/microservices around a lot, incoming maintainer brings in his new ideas and learns from the implemented stuff while he refractors it.
  • https://twitter.com/StGebert - at @EMnify, we have bi-week "lunch & learn" with corporate sponsored food and either someone giving a talk or collaboratively watching a video
    • while "talk" might be too strong.. "giving a session and initiating discussion" might be better phrased
    • further, we have slack day between sprints (2 weeks) where colleagues are encouraged to play with / explore new, yet somewhat relevant, things.
  • https://twitter.com/rafaelrezend - The main complain was about lack of infrastructure to play around. Everyone's afraid of messing up each other tests in the few test VMs, which are sadly hard to get... Solution: create Vagrant boxes with all they need to learn a specific subject. Fast and disposable.
    • Vagrant works well for playing around. Everything local, no dependencies. It can't be easier. The next killer issue is the actual lack of motivation to learn :-( especially with everyone drowning in support. But that's a whole new problem though...
  • https://twitter.com/robert_we - the too many things is a big roadblock for lots of things. did you try mobprogramming yet?
