Very interesting maturity model about proper communication in a remote work setup. I think it definitely makes sense and doesn't feel too difficult to evaluate.

Good opinion piece, I wholeheartedly agree with the author on the topic. Like it or not, politics happen in organizations. Ignoring this fact is an enabler for bad decision making.

An old paper which is still very relevant today. It's very much written in the context of the early women's liberation movement, and yet the lessons a much more broadly applicable.

Interesting trick. Good way to frame decision making when needed.

Indeed, arguments have a function. If they're used they need to be regulated, otherwise you won't get the best ideas possible in your organization due to competition.

Nice list of tools and models to use for better decision making and problem solving. Can all be done on paper of whiteboard. This is a good reference.

If you spend your time in dull meetings and then run like a headless chicken... it's definitely a sign you should cut down on the meetings and keep only the ones focusing on solving actual problems.

Interesting guidelines idea to help teams manage the priorities themselves. It's written in the context of a product manager but I think it is lightweight and generic enough to apply in other contexts.

Nice post, and indeed it's not about Python if you read until the end. It shows that it's important to be able to make informed choices and not just pick your tech stack based on knee-jerk reactions.

This is an impressive piece about decision making and leadership. I love the approach: seeking to get the decision out of the person instead of deciding for them.

Nice ideas for decision making in larger groups.

Good point on why you don't want to drive your organization simply on RFCs. Yet another fad of "this worked for them, let's do it as well"... per usual this fails to take into account the specificity of the context where it worked.

Yes, seen this kind of imprecise requests go wrong fairly quickly more than once. It requires constant awareness though, on both sides of each request. This can be taxing, so no wonder we often drop the ball.

Clearly very much inspired by the science peer review system. Having experienced it, indeed I wish more business decisions would be made that way.

Definitely this. This is an interesting talk, most thing shouldn't be shiny. It's not about stagnating of course, but you should think more than twice before adding a new technology to your stack. Mastery is when you know everything that's wrong with a piece of tech, before that keep in mind the amount of unknown unknowns and the cost of exploiting something new.

Nice resource to get started with this important and efficient practice.

They're definitely a powerful tool. I see them used in a few places but definitely not enough.

Too often forgotten. Data is indeed a mean to an end. It's not outright knowledge and will require work to be useful. It better be aligned with your needs if you want to use it for decision making.

To me that sounds an awful like the "lazy consensus" often applied in communities. Still this is indeed a good approach.

Interesting article about how we badly design AI systems which make them very vulnerable to the quality of the data they receive. That's in part why I'd expect that somehow we'll see knowledge representation somehow come back in fashion because they have some potential to lead to better explicability in models.
