Thriving in the Midst of Product Team Turnover

There’s no way around it; turnover is a bear. We’ve likely all been a part of a team that experiences ill-timed or, at best, unexpected turnover. Even in writing this, I squirm at the thought of the scrambling to backfill, the difficult conversations with stakeholders, and the pressure that mounts…

Philanthropically Driven Development

Bringing the strengths of the nonprofit sector to software development — About a year ago, having spent the majority of my career studying and working in the nonprofit sector, I decided to take the plunge into the world of software development.

Beautiful Things Don’t Ask For Attention

Fasting From Self-Promotion for the Life of the World — “Truly beautiful things never ask for attention” — The Secret Life of Walter Mitty If I could say all I’m about to say anonomously, I would. Sometimes I think that this great American rat race has us all in a prison so dark, inconspicuous, and ill-defined that we have no…

Stop Feeling and Start Thinking

Semantics of Expression and Why They Matter — I feel like we may have a problem. How often do we qualify our conversational declaratives with the limp, non-commital preface “I feel like…” when expressing a sentiment completely outside the realm of emotion? Why does the infinitive “to think” feel so rigid and intimidating? Why are we so hesitant…

You’re Wrong and it’s Okay

Toward A Culture of Constructive Discourse — “A gentleman is one who can disagree without being disagreeable.”— Anonymous Aristotle called rhetoric, “the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.” True rhetoric is a dying art. Why? Because we have come to believe that our respective ideologies are extensions of the self. Why…

So you Want to Live Your Dreams?

Reflections on the Nature of Vocation — I have nothing new to say and no new advice to give. I have no promises for you, and I refuse to pretend as if the identity-shaking questions we all ask ourselves can be addressed in 500 words or less. In the words of Walker Percy, “You live in a…

Coping With Dixie

William A. Christenberry, Southern Guilt, and the Passage of Time — “[Hale County, Alabama] is and always will be where my heart is. It is what I care about.

Beauty = Inefficiency

Courage for Beauty’s Sake — “Beauty is the word that shall be our first. Beauty is the last thing which the thinking intellect dares to approach, since only it dances as an uncontained splendor around the double constellation of the true and the good and their inseparable relation to one another. Beauty is the disinterested…

A Season (or 11) of M*A*S*H

Purpose Apart From Progress — For some, unemployment might be characterized by a conscious decision rooted in a spirit of assiduousness, or framed as a 21st-century pragmatic period of self-discovery; for me, however, a season of unemployment felt much more like a hearty bout of existential crisis. While I know that experiences with unemployment are…
