<p>🍐 More superb pairing sessions this week <br />
🦥 Still making slow progress on the feature I'm working on but, I've reached the point where I can see how I should have done it<br />
🗑 inadvertently wasted someone's time this week. I've moved on from knowing nothing to "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"<br />
🎓 always be a beginner mindset is great but, I'd forgotten how hard new language, new framework, and a new system can be<br />
⏰ I need to be more purposeful about learning and carefulness <br />
❓ each time I asked for help, things got a tonne easier. I should be old enough to know that by now! I need to be better at spotting when I should put effort and when I should raise the flag <br />
📈 That all might seem negative, but making stuff is 💯 <br />
✅ had fun <br /></p>

<p>🍐 Two superb pairing sessions this week <br />
🦥 Making slow progress on the feature I'm working on<br />
🚀 Made some cool improvements to some tests' speed and can apply to other tests<br />
✏️ I'm working on a "breakdown" feature. I have typed "breadkown" thousands of times <br />

<p>📅 week five in the new job, so a month however you cut it <br />
🚀 I'd forgotten how much fun the dopamine fix of deep work on a feature was <br />
🗣 10.5 hours of meetings over two weeks, in the last job I would have that much in one day <br />
🤯 asked the team I'm on if it was OK to take a day off -> "don't need to ask, only inform" #Trust <br />
🏢 spent a day at the Manchester WeWork <br />
☕️ on-site barista in the morning <br />
🍕 had lunch with old colleagues <br />
🏃♀️ I'm forgetting to do exercise more and more as the weather gets worse <br />
🕰 lack of a commute means I tend to forget to write these <br />

<p>🎬 week three in new job <br />
🤔 practiced honesty in 1-2-1, meant I got supported <em>and</em> challenged, good result <br />
🧠 still slower than I'd like to be, but learning <br />
🔢 used property based testing to try to solve a problem <br />
🤯 asked for the rule around some spending -> "just do what you think is in company's best interest" #Trust <br />
💖 had nice feedback <br />
🇮🇹 set my phone to Italian so I could learn <br />
🪣 so many systems now serve content in Italian <em>on other devices</em> <br />
👨🦲 got a new webcam because old one was too low resolution. Can now see how bald I am :'( <br />

<p>🦠 spent a few days utterly exhausted <br />
⌨️ a little time fixing a broken service <br />
🍠 the fix was two lines of YAML <br />
⏰ and a very lot of downloading and compiling ruby and ruby gems <br />
✍️ I miss when writing code involved writing code <br />
🎓 joined a class working through <a href="https://lectures.leanagile.pm/#unit-1-introduction">Jez Humble's Lean Agile university</a> <br />
