For me personally, Arlo Belshee‘s talk on Promiscuous Pairing was the most interesting talk of #CraftConf 2023:

"... do experiments and change your retro." #CraftConf

"What are the different ways of implementing change? [...] Stage magician-style does not work in a business setting, or does it?" #CraftConf

"Mob has a better change process because everyone is there. The classic ways to implement change are..." #CraftConf

"Rotating team members randomly through pairs led to better results than assigning them by qualification. [...] Fast rotation - every 3 to 4 hours - was more effective than slower rotation. [...] It led to less bugs. That came as a surprise. [...] The green arrows are Promiscuous Pairing. [...] That result was completely counterintuitive. [...] The intuition was completely wrong." #CraftConf

"Most of the time intuition leads you to the things you already know. Therefore you need to use more data to underpin your decisions. [...] Therefore: Change your retrospective." (https://twitter.com/arlobelshee @ Craft 2023) #CraftConf

"Every beginner is unique in his/her own unique way." (Llewellyn Falco @ Craft 2023) #CraftConf

No better way to get started after lunch than with @kevlin #CraftConf

My favorite talk already - Joseph Pelrine on Psychological Safety #researchsays #CraftConf

Next up @nick_tune about a treasure trove #CraftConf

Having fun watching @samnewman’s keynote at #CraftConf.

High jokes per-minute ratio and they are all zingers 😁

Keynote by @samnewman kicks off #CraftConf #CraftConf2023

@nick_tune I am heading to #Budapest #craftconf tomorrow - been a regular since 2016

I will however be again away from "invoicable work". There's #FutureCreators23, #7NFreelancerNetworking #ScanAgile, #CraftConf and #EuroSTAR and my own #TestingDozen on my list until June.

Learning a lot while speaking and teaching is not away from the project work. Managers could do better in enabling this.
