I just listened to the audio book on spotify, free for premium members, and I'm wondering if that's why I'm seeing so much about the Challenger disaster lately. Well worth a listen, and spends a great deal of time on setup for these key individuals who tried so hard to avert this disaster.

I’m doing something similar with my team in a few weeks, and I’d measure our in person value on a different scale than just what we produce in person together. I don’t know if this is naive, but I still feel like it’s important to celebrate our accomplishments together and if we have a chance to do that in person, even if velocity suffers and some money is spent, we get something out of that shared experience together that helps us grow and understand each other that is sometimes lost when we’re just on video calls.

Is it necessary? Definitely not. But I have the opportunity and I think it’s great to do, and great to plan together.

I'm not even sure where to start asking. What's the first wild story that comes to mind?

I'm really curious what the Software QA process is like at a company like this (or any company where automation failure can result in loss of life).

I actually liked having the option to be a contractor in the MSA. I spent a lot of time piecing one together for myself for that purpose, and something like this would have gotten me there 90% faster.
