I felt more encouraged by the Guardian’s version (but still ugh at “Silicon Valley mindset”)

Screenshot: McFadden will say: "Test it. Fix the problems. Change the design. Test it again. Tweak it again. And so on, and so on, for as long as you provide the service. Suddenly, the most important question isn't: 'How do we get this right the first time?' It's: 'How do we make this better by next Friday? "That's the test-and-learn mindset, and I'm keen to see where we can deploy it in government. Where we can make the state a little bit more like a startup." McFadden will argue that prison governors and children's services directors are the ones who "have stared the issues and the people that depend on us in the eye, seen how the system has been broken - they have taken the frustrations home with them each week. Now we want them to be part of the solution."

Just found this from a facebook conversation long ago about the class divide in school.

Nurse in a cupboard? Luxury! We had a dinner lady with a first aid kit, a bottle of Dettol and a bucket.
Screenshot of an online discussion. Richard H: We didn't have a "dining room"... it was a "Dining Hall"! Rachel G: Ours was a refectory. The upper refectory and the lower refectory to be more precise. Also we didn't have a sanitorium, we had the infirmary Richard J: We didn't have an infirmary, we had a nurse in a cupboard.

This is sarcasm, right?
A section on grammar from a German textbook, titled The case system: adjectives before the noun. The first paragraph reads: When used before a noun and following a definite or indefinite article, dieser, welcher, jeder or a possessive, an adjective has an ending. The system is quite simple. (I have highlighted that last sentence.) There follows half a page of different endings for adjectives depending on ten different combinations of gender, case, and the article, preposition or possessive preceding the adjective.

Whoever does the app store release notes for Slack, nice work 👍🏻
Screenshot of text as follows: Bug fixes * Fixed: We seem to have got our threads tangled on iPad, where threaded replies containing links were overlapping with other messages. A stitch in time saves nine, but an app update is, uh, pretty great. * Fixed: On iPad, the Quick Switcher wasn’t jumping to the correct channel when selecting with ‘Enter’ on the keyboard. Some found this behaviour thrilling and laden with mystery; most found it confusing and annoying.
