At #FastFlowConf today and sketchnoting! ✍🏻 @fastflowconf.bsky.social

A talk about empowerment at scale by @matthewskelton.com at @fastflowconf.bsky.social. #sketchnoting #FastFlowConf

Such a long explanation to say they're rolling a new sex-bot.

Thanks! Slides from my talk today are here: speakerdeck.com/matthewskelt...

The idea of curated content is very interesting! I've seen the no filter version and the confusion that can create. I've seen gatekeeping information and the frustration that creates. Curated content sounds like a good middle ground! Lagom as we say in Sweden 😄

Why APIs matter for innovation - enjoying the session by @matthewskelton.com at @fastflowconf.bsky.social #FastFlowConf

At last week’s Leeds Digital Festival Roundtable, we explored empowerment-first thinking. When teams and AI are trusted and supported, they can move fast and stay aligned. More: https://confluxhq.com/all-events/leadership-roundtable-achieve-both-speed-and-scale-through-empowerment-first-thinking

On the podcast, we talked about a common trap: measuring AI by prompts or lines of code ❌. The real test ✅ is whether it helps teams deliver value faster and focus on what matters. AI done right = a true force multiplier 💡

MAGA is all illusion. They have nothing else, not even strength. They are able to hurt people, but they are extremely weak and brittle.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia… But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable…. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

"One of the most innovative parts of the CRA [EU Cyber Resilience Act] is for the first time, in any piece of legislation in the world, it enshrines a role for an economic actor they call open source software steward." 💡❤️ Superb interview from Rachel Stephens

Absolutely fascinating. www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

The etymology of "battery" is worth thinking about in this context. "The extension to 'electrical cell' (1748, in Ben Franklin) is perhaps from the artillery sense via notion of 'discharges' of electricity." www.etymonline.com/word/battery

Renewables are more secure during conflict. 1. No dependency on fuel imports which could be shut off or curtailed by an enemy 2. Distributed nature is more robust 3. Batteries help maintain supply if there is a problem 4. Offshore wind farms provide sensor platforms 5. Solar PV is easy to replace

"you now have a obligation to provide that fix to the project, regardless of whether it’s a copy left license or not. " That's a very interesting legislative move. Kind of a legal obligation to do the right thing wrt open source... 💡

I am biased and think you should consume all my work (😘), but this one really is important. This regulation is going to have vast ripple effects across our ecosystems. Please give the interview a listen and learn more about what's coming. redmonk.com/blog/2025/10...

Haven't been able to read the article, but I love this.

The core principles of software engineering are now MORE important, not less: 1. Work in small steps: actively constrain the AI. 2. Verify everything: after every small change, verify that the system is still working as expected. 3/5

Team Topologies reach beyond IT is a reminder that though our work may vary quite dramatically, many business lessons are more transferable than we realise. It makes me wonder: what else could we learn from each other?

🚨 New workshop alert! I'm excited to be hosting a roundtable session on bringing clarity and coherence to AI adoption later this month. Register here: https://matthewskelton.com/all-events/workshop-bring-clarity-and-coherence-to-ai-adoption-via-team-topologies-and-active-knowledge-diffusion

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

A great breakdown of the numbers here, making clear the return was across society, not directly into govt coffers: bsky.app/profile/clar...

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Agile can only do so much when teams operate in structures that were never designed for flow. This is exactly the kind of problem we wrote Team Topologies to solve. But sometimes the best way to learn is by practicing. So, explore our courses today: https://academy.teamtopologies.com/collections/

SCOOP by me & @amanda.omg.lol: Event planning app Partiful was not stripping precise location data from user-uploaded images, including profile photos. Partiful fixed the bug at TechCrunch's request. The bug meant anyone using Partiful could've seen exactly where a person's profile photo was taken.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs). 87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies. Paid £1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK. Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.

Cognitive load isn’t just a concept - it’s what teams feel every day. Clear boundaries, thoughtful support, and trust let people focus, create, and thrive. Humans and purpose come first, always. Discover more in our 2nd edition 👉🏻 https://www.teamtopologies.com/book
