3hours on your most important project

3 shorter tasks

3 maintenance activities

A good teacher, therefore, especially in mid-career, is not just teaching students to be students. He/she is teaching students to become their own teachers, their own fountain of knowledge. To forever make a student dependent on you, to hold a student back, is to forever infantilize the student. It only shows the insecurity of a teacher to do so. And a student who only wishes to be spoon-fed everything, even after years of training, needs to grow up, to stumble more on his own, to pick himself up and try again, as we did, and as our own sensei did years before us. ~ Wayne Muromoto Sensei, Takeuchi Ryu Jujutsu.

The photo shows a fast race between dogs and a cheetah, the goal was to see who was the fastest.

Everyone was surprised that the cheetah did not budge from its place. We asked the race coordinator what happened. After seeing this picture, he replied: Sometimes trying to prove that you are the best is an insult. We do not need to go down to the level of others, to show our strength. Think carefully and save your energy for what you deserve... The cheetah uses its speed only to hunt, not to prove to the dogs that it is the fastest and strongest.”

Don't waste your time proving your worth.

There is a big difference between a strategy and a plan. Roger Martin explains it very well in this video and give some examples of the difference.

His definition of strategy is as follows:

strat⸱e⸱gy noun An integrative set of choices that positions you on a playing field of your choice in a way that you win

He goes on to say the key differences between the two are as follows:

Strategy

actual customers are the customers

you don't control them

you don't control revenues

Planning

you contron costs

you are the customer

it's comfortable

If you do strategy it gives you the best chances of winning

Decision-making is a big part of what an architect does

It's often difficult to define what precisely software architecture is but Gregor Hohpe says it's definitely about decision-making

It's illustrated as follows. If you want to design a house, the two following architectures are illustrating this concept:

picture1: steep roofs are good for cold climates

picture2: flat roofs are good for warm climates

Both drawings show exactly what the decitions was:

Only use a mock (or test double) “when testing things that cross the dependency inversion boundaries of the system” (per Bob Martin).
