Great game at @wwfc.com yesterday. Most dominant performance I’ve seen for a while without getting the winner.
First game for my youngest son yesterday too so first time we’d been as a family!

Reposting this now I have more followers… anyone worked in the tribe/squad model? How was quality treated? What challenges did you have?
Tech friends… our org has announced we are moving from waterfall ways of working with outsourced dev/test to full on “Spotify model” but still with outsourced nearshore product squads…
