Sri Lanka is facing an economic crisis and is on the verge of default. What led to this situation? A thread 🧵

The Covid pandemic & school closures presented us with an opportunity to change the examination system & how we assess young people to graduate from school & college. Opportunity wasted by focusing discussion on how to conduct online exams rather than re-imagine the system.

Principle 4: Understand the dangers of Proof of Worth tasks. If you do them, do them sparingly and intentionally. As a PM, it is your duty to write complex SQL queries, check in code every once in a while, answer support tickets, always take & send awesome notes. Right?

@mjwhansen @SlowSteadyPod Have you tried? "I saw you working on X, that look very interesting because of Y and I'd like to learn more about it" It qualifies their project as interesting so it's not up to them to make that decision. Deep down I wonder why anyone is ever interested in anything I do...

Umberto Eco was asked: Q: You're one of the most famous intellectuals in the world. How would you define the term? Does it hold any meaning to you?
