Last week, I did a selection of lectures from the digital catalogue of Autodesk University (upcoming in October), but that included just events in the “Industry Talk” categories. This week, let’s take a look at Case Studies. There’s nothing like a practical success case if it’s presented well and showcases their actual process, isn’t there? […]
“The Two Cakes” is a story from The Pentameron, or The Story of Stories by Giambattista Basile, here given in the translation by John Edward Taylor. You can also read the story on my Patreon. I have always heard say, that he who gives pleasure finds it: the bell of Manfredonia says, “Give me, I give […]
Ninpumuna was a deity from Mesopotamian mythology, associated explicitly with salt springs. Her name translates to “mistress of the salt spring,” and she is primarily recognized as a goddess linked to these natural features and possibly the underworld. She is mentioned in contexts related to offerings and rituals, often alongside other deities associated with the […]
The catalogue of classes for Autodesk University 2024 is here, and I have the privilege of having been selected amongst the speakers, so around October 13th I’ll be flying to San Diego with my significant otter and I’ll bask in a whole week of networking and high-level training. The event includes more than 650 sessions, […]
Lethe, also known as Lesmosyne, was one of the Greek underworld rivers, and particularly the river of unmindfulness (Amelēs potamos): it gained its properties because it flowed around the cave of Hypnos, the god of sleep, son of Night and brother of Death. Whoever drinks from this river experiences forgetfulness. Interestingly enough, though, the Greek […]

The hall was owned by several notable figures over the centuries, including Adam de […]
Jean Restout I (1663-1702) was a French baroque painter, and one of his most notable works is “Orpheus in the Underworld to Demand the Return of Eurydice, or Music” (1763), currently preserved at the Louvre Museum. Today on my Patreon we take a look at this work.
A few days ago I posted a brief overview of Kanban (far from being the first time I post about it), and some of you reached out to highlight how the first principle, “Visualize the Workflow”, sounded a lot like “Use a kanban board”. A time will come when we’ll have to get into detail […]
Pair programming is a software development technique where two programmers work together at a single workstation. The Roles in Pair Programming are divided between: Driver: the programmer who writes the code, typing each line as the pair collaborates on the solution. Navigator: the programmer who reviews the code as it is being written, offering suggestions, identifying […]
Too often the methodology is reduced to the implementation of a visual task management board (Trello, ClickUp, a Planner, you name it), which remains underused and which people struggle to see the significance of. That’s because Kanban is a whole system and the bpard itself isn’t enough to drive innovation. Here’s a list of 10 […]
