The Promises of Giants
John AmaechiChris Pitts (@thirstybear@agilodon.social)Currently reading ‘The Promises of Giants’ by @JohnAmaechi. Wow. Deeply insightful, and delightfully written with charm and compassion coupled with deep knowledge and empathy. Quite possibly one of the best books on leadership I have ever read. Chapter 5 just blew me away.

My Blood Runs Crimson: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Perrie PattersonChris Pitts (@thirstybear@agilodon.social)Remember, techie folks. Just because you *can* doesn’t mean you *should*. (Bravo Steve for refusing 👏) Now whether the incoming Twitter owner/management are sufficiently principled & ethical to resist this kind of thing (especially as profits nosedive again), you decide 🤷♂️ #moa https://t.co/ilvescNBe2
