Field notes
What it takes to get real work shipped.
The decisions that decide whether work ships, written down. For the people on the hook for delivering it.
What I write
- Field notesWhat I noticed in the workA pattern, a failure mode, a sentence that changed how a decision got made.
- EssaysOne idea, argued all the way throughLonger pieces that work one idea to the end. Two are in progress.
- FrameworksSomething you can run on MondayBuilt to be used in the work, not presented on a slide. The first one is being written.
If I ever sit down with someone doing this work from another seat, that goes to the same list.
