I keep thinking we need a People in Manchester starter pack!

Good idea! Don't know a huge amount of Mcr based people on here, but there's probably a lot more now than there were a few weeks ago!

True. I think a lot are still over on Twitter. Hopefully they’ll come over in time as it was a great way of finding out about things going on in the city

Found you when trying to find ruby_gem on here… must still be hibernating. :)

Hi! 👋 Meeting her for lunch on Friday as it happens, will give her a nudge to come join 😊

I spent most of my career working in startups around the infamous Silicon Roundabout in London, but moved up to the wonderful city of Manchester 8 years ago. Manchester is A+. Tech sector exploded, fantastic city & culture, brilliant countryside on doorstep. Don't know why more don't move here 2/4

Things you will find me posting on? Lots. I tend to think out loud and like to use BlueSky to test my thinking, but: - Thoughts on tech trends - Org and team dynamics & productivity - Leadership - Impact of tech on society - Software engineering practices - Sometimes, some politics & economics 3/4

Some things I'm interested in: - Tech (of course) - Science - History - Economics - Systems thinking - Agile/XP/Lean Makes me sound boring 🤣. I also like electronic and noisy guitar music if that makes it any better. I look forward to chatting with you all 😊 4/4
