Heavy week reading this week as I spent more time than usual on airplanes, so figured I would clear out the backlog.

Here’s this issue of “Deep Links”:

- [10 Types of Odd Friendships You’re Probably Part Of](https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/12/10-types-odd-friendships-youre-probably-part.html) — Tim Urban always has provocative and interesting takes on society, technology and the effects of things in between. In this one from 2014, he does a fascinating job of exploring different friendships you may have.
- [Anarchitecture: An Introduction to Anarchic Software Development](https://hackernoon.com/anarchitecture-d8643tlw) — Forget DevOps, agile and test-driven design and welcome to the world of “developer anarchy” and “self-organizing teams”.
- [Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule](http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html) — An interesting view on how to carve up the day on when you have time, and what time you are willing to compromise with disruptions.
- [11 traits of unforgettable leaders](https://link.medium.com/c7CV5xXV93) — are you a leader, or just a “boss”? It’s a simple list of things that instill trust.
- In [Meetings](https://link.medium.com/CjoBQuGpb4), the concept of “Swiss cheese” calendars and the difficulty in getting real work done.
- [Why No-Code and Low-Code Software Is the Industry Disrupter You Should Pay Attention To](https://www.inc.com/soren-kaplan/why-no-code-low-code-software-is-industry-disruptor-you-should-pay-attention-to.html) — An interesting take; I’ve often joked that the **evolution** of DevOps is into “NoDevs”, and this article reflects on the “No-Code” nature of platforms like [Zapier](https://zapier.com/), [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/) and [Shortcuts](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shortcuts/id915249334). Event-based, activity flows are the future IMHO.

And finally, from the Podcast list:

- [When Setbacks are Your Biggest Training Asset](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trained/id1414073313?i=1000460055173) — really have been enjoying the TRAINED series of Podcasts; this one is with the founder of OrangeTheory, Ellen Latham, and dives into “focus on positive”.
