The Cardinals are on a magical run to end this season. They just win game after game after game. They're just winning and winning and winning. Their longest win streak in franchise history at times. It feels like they got magic on their side. Even bloopers go in their favor and they thought they had another one of those in this game, but then it didn't go their way and they got a little mad about it. They want to have the magic on their side. This one's brought to you by SeatGeek. You can sit in these good seats and you get $20 off your first order if you use code JOMBOY. Thanks, SeatGeek. Taking some baseball. Feel like royalty. All right, let's get into it. Romine's up looking scraggly, looking rugged, looking beautiful. Looking like how a catcher should. He's going to take this 3-2 pitch that's a little outside low. I don't know. Look pretty good to me. He wants it as well, but that is a runner on first and that is a grown man in full uniform at the game. And this is the Frank Schwindel fan club. Let's go, Frank. He's not even up yet. He's on deck first. Another 3-2 pitch just misses. They celebrate. They're like, oh, ball. Guys, come on. Let's get a looking base hit. Let's go. Let's go, Frankie. Woo. Hey, hey, hey. Frankie's up. Frankie's up. Watch, watch. There he is. Oh, my God. And there he is. Oh, my God. So here he comes. The hero. Rookie of the year. Bam. Straight in the air. What's going to happen? Aeronautos got it for one out. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. He slips. Okay. Get him a third. Turn the double play. Get him a second. Cardinals think they do it. Everyone's like, no, no. Let's tag him again just to be case he ran off the bag. And then they're like, no, time, time, time. Hey, umps. Let's all get together and chat about this, see what happened. Here's what happened. Aeronautos goes for this ball. He wants to catch it. He doesn't want to drop it on purpose. He throws on the brakes, and you can see his left foot slip and then hit the lip of the grass, and then he's down. And the ball lands in fair territory. But you can see the umpire, Gabe, down the third base line, he's calling this an infield fly, which means the batter is automatically out and the runners can advance on their own or they can stay put. It's up to them. If they do advance, they have to be tagged. It's a force out because they can always return to the base that they're at. It's a proper call. That is an infield fly. The infield fly rule exists for this very reason because Aeronaut could just drop that on purpose, leave the runners in no man's land and turn easy double plays like this. That's why the infield fly rule exists. So you can see right there that he did call it. The only problem is, the Cardinals didn't understand that he called it. The Cubs didn't understand that he called it. And second base umpire, he didn't know they called it because he thinks this is a force out and he rings up the runner. And then when the Cardinals go to tag because Goldie was like, tag him, tag him, tag him, he overran the base. You can see the umpire at this point say, time. No, no, no. Time is out. Time is out. This umpire is saying he only overran the base because I messed up and I had the rule wrong. So that's on me. But if you look at it, runner was running past the bag had nothing to do with the ump's mechanic or the ump saying out. He as well thought he was forced out and was going to overrun the bag whether that umpire did that mechanic or not. But the umpire doesn't think that. He thinks the only reason he overran the bag is because he called him out. So he has to fix that.  And that's where manager the Cardinals gets really mad. There was not time. Who? He's like, I call time. He's like, you call time?  Explain it to me. I don't care about that.  And he says he comes off the bag and I called time. I called time.    Yeah, you fucked. I don't care what you tell me. I don't care what you tell me. And then the head ump, home plate ump is trying to, I know, but that's what happened.  They messed up. He tries explaining it to him.  He comes off the bag and he tags him.    And then he's going to say, and you know it. And that gets him ejected. You can't point in the numbs face and saying, you know it. So that's what happened.  Anyway, the magic continues. These guys get to celebrate. They're in their nice seats. Seat geek live in large. Thanks for sponsoring this video.  You get $20 off using code johnboy. And that's basically what happened. Infield fly rule was properly called.  In my opinion. Definitely didn't get it right. He's on the wrong page.


it shouldn't over dominate or be the perception that's over dominating by virtue of the size of its membership on the community planning partnership that the other partners feel that if you want second class citizens and not have an equality of contribution or representation there's a balance to be struck but I don't think we've found that there is a simple template that's followed by them all because there are 32 different community planning partnerships and in some I mean just to go further in some I think you'll find for example on the health board but the chief executive of the health board because he's an executive member of the health board whereas the chief executive of the council doesn't have that status and may not be represented on the same basis it's actually a complex model of governance or if you can call it that that community planning partnerships do have and a lot of these issues are in the process of being worked through and being resolved but they're by no means I think it's fair to say in some community planning partnerships there's a simple way to go and understanding the nature of representation and the different roles that people play if you think for example the difference between a non-executive member of a health board as opposed to a councillor who is an executive yet they sit round the table with different roles and different responsibilities in their back office organisation and you expect them to work together in a different way in a community planning partnership that's I think some of that still to be worked through that's despite 11 years of community planning partnerships sorry that's despite 11 years of community planning partnerships my sense is that it reflects the complexity of the accountability we're talking about here anyway Doug was touched on the fact that they are voluntary partnerships the way we're able to audit them highlights again that you can go a long way with those voluntary arrangements and that there are limits to them between us we audit all the bodies the statutory bodies that make up the partnerships we can use our audit responsibilities to audit how they work together and to produce reports on them but where normally my reports would go to the public audit committee the commission has got powers to consider reports from the controller of audit and to engage with councils on the back of them for community planning partnerships there are no similar powers because they don't have a formal status now that needn't be an enormous problem when things are going well in the same way that the non-incorporated status of community planning partnerships themselves isn't it can leave you a gap when there are problems and that's what we've tried to draw out in our submission based on that comment about the voluntary nature of community planning partnership engagement by other bodies would it not be preferable particularly given the earlier comment about the accountability of some of the agencies and their spend or the effectiveness in the work they do in community planning partnership areas bring them into a statutory footing so they can actually be quite clear about the role, responsibility especially in terms of delivery of services within the community planning partnership area and based on your comment about being a very voluntary nature of community planning partnerships there needs to be some kind of formal footing whereby we bring them on board and we say there is an expectation in delivery of services along the identified community planning partnership strategy it's worth making the point that the power has existed since 2003 for community planning partnership to apply to become an incorporated body to Scottish ministers and none of them have exercised that opportunity in fact it's reiterated in the bill and that does say something about the appetite for bodies to become incorporated bodies recognising that they are a separate nature of their accountability I think the other point is it's interesting Before you go on to the other point are you aware of any community planning partnerships you have actually discussed in any great depth whether or not they should become incorporated bodies or not? Not to my knowledge, convener I don't know the answer to that I think the second point is interesting that the Scottish Government decided that health and social care partnerships would be a secondary body they will be accountable for something like 40% of the Scottish budget and they are going to be I think the relationship between the health and social care partnership and the community planning partnership is going to be one of an interesting one health and social care partnerships will be represented in future on the community planning partnership but I think it's still to be developed and clarified what is the nature of the oversight relationship between the community planning partnership and a statutory body of the health and social care partnership Ms Gardner I don't think that putting the bodies on the partnerships on to a statutory basis is necessarily the answer I think there can be real strengths in the sorts of voluntary arrangements underpinned by the provisions in the bill that we're seeing at the moment but as we pointed out in their submission it does bring with it a gap in accountability compared to the individual partners and I think given the importance that's placed on them in public service reform and in meeting both the challenges in Scottish society and the financial pressures that we're facing for the foreseeable future those questions about accountability and governance are important ones to work through One last quick question and it goes back to the submission made and one of the bullet points she highlighted that we noted that it would be what would happen in case of a failure by the community to make effective use of the asset and that's a community asset transfer who would you see would be the organisation that would make the determination whether or not a community was making effective use of the asset transfer and what effective use of assets do you evaluate in relation to local authorities at the present moment to hold those assets? Mr Sinclair I think there clearly have to be you'd have to develop some criteria to be able to evaluate whether the community body was making an effective use of the asset that may be something for ministers to develop in terms of guidance I think also that if a view was taken say by a council that a body wasn't making an appropriate use of an asset there should be some appeals mechanism whereby the body concern would have a right of appeal again to some body so that natural justice was seen to be observed I think at the point when the assets transferred it would be important to have an agreement between the body transferring it and the community organisation taking it over about the purposes and how success would be measured that would provide a basis then for some sort of reasonably objective assessment of failure or not because there's natural justice demand that there should be some appeals mechanism linked to it as well Thank you Good afternoon panel although we will forgive you if you think I should be saying good evening I've been here a while Can I ask the panel members their views on how the bill will assist in the measurement of achievements and value for money by public bodies and really it's just can you add in on to why you also incorporate some of the benchmarking that you mentioned earlier within your answer Ms Gardner do you want to go first? Sure We already have for community planning partnerships the requirement that they'll produce a report on progress against their single outcome agreements and we've reported previously that there's room for those reports to develop further to be better based on clear objectives in the first place clear milestones about progress on issues that sometimes will take a generation to change you can't wait 20 years to see if you're making a difference to children in their early years and making better use of the data that's available to show some of the linkages between it so we know there's scope for improvements at the local level I think some of the same considerations are likely to apply to the proposed regular reports from Scottish ministers on the national picture and I think particularly for both of them the long term high level outcomes that people are trying to achieve and the actions they're taking right now this year and this month to move towards them that's not a simple thing but it seems to us really important in helping people make choices about the best way of improving the life chances of children across Scotland or developing sustainable economic growth but it does seem to us important both in demonstrating the thinking process about what the policy choices are that are being made and helping people to think about whether progress is meeting expectations and if not what should be done to correct that that would make a real difference in being able to assess value for money and the overall way that the outcomes are being delivered I just had a point in terms of on the national outcomes the bills silent on who the report on national outcomes by the Scottish minister goes to I think it's a question mark is there a role for the Parliament in holding to account ministers for their performance in relation to delivery of national outcomes Secondly the bills also leaves it to the Scottish minister to decide the frequency of reports on national outcomes and again is there an issue for Parliament to determine how frequently that should be there's an argument for saying it shouldn't be too frequent because you want to allow a reasonable amount of time to see improvements in national outcomes but it shouldn't be too long either so I think there's an issue in there to consider what is the role of Parliament in relation to both the frequency of reports and who the reports go to and finally in relation to that as we said in our evidence it's important that the reports on national outcomes don't mask inequalities it's important that the report on national outcomes covers performance in relation to different parts of Scotland and in relation to poverty are not lost and you want to come back Following on from Ms Gardner's point answer earlier do you feel then that there is enough within the bill that can you links between local improvement plan, strategic priorities partner bodies and single outcome agreements I think we make the point in our submission that those linkages could be clearer it doesn't all need to be in the bill there needs to be some flexibility as governments change and circumstances change over time but making that link between national and local is important and we've found through our audit work in the past that particularly at a local level community planning partnerships aren't always clear about the relationship between their local priorities and the national priorities and the weight that each should take just a tiny final one can be a thank you for your patience community planning partners be removed or added to the current setup there is a proposal on the bill schedule 1 I think I'm right in saying to add a fair number of additional bodies to the community planning partnership I think that raises the issue of the effectiveness of community planning partnership being a big body I think they need to think through how they work effectively with that increased membership okay thank you final question obviously we have the bill and the new legislative proposals how much of getting this right is down to common sense in a change of culture in organisations rather than just legislation I think that's a very fair point convener I think a lot of it is about developing that culture of trust and joint working that's what community planning is about can you plan at the end of the day is about your willingness if you are a community partner to give up some of your power to work for the common good and that's a challenge for every public body it's not something that comes easily to give up power but that's what it requires it needs that sharing of power it needs that view that we are here to provide services that are joined up a view that recognises that the solutions to people's problems are never seldom within the gift of one organisation to put the emphasis on what you call common sense what I would call a culture of being absolutely focused on the user and on the community Ms Gardner We've reported repeatedly convener that where community planning and other forms of partnership work it tends to be because there is that culture of putting the user at the centre putting communities at the centre and then doing what's needed to get on with it I guess the question for the bill is how far it can set the conditions to help when things aren't working as well as they need to and that's the test we'd suggest you apply to it Thank you very much for your evidence today I suspend and we'll move into private session Thank you


Hi everyone, welcome to the first platform engineering day. It's quite an honor to be able to open up. This is very exciting. And my name is Abby Bangzer. And I'm Whitney Lee.  So there are three groups of people involved with using internal platforms. First up, we have our infrastructure and ops experts. So they're going to define and optimize potentially complex stuff that our users want to use. So this could be a Kubernetes expert, a database expert, an identity expert. And that brings us to the next group, which are our users. So these are employees. And they just, for the love of sweet baby cheeses, all they want to do is get their work done. So the users want to get this potentially complex stuff that the experts have made. And how do they do that? With these super awesome humans, the third group, they're so amazing, the platform engineers. And we have probably a few in the room. And these platform engineers often lower many hats. You're multi-talented, I know. You may yourselves be users of some of the capabilities. And in smaller organizations, you often are the experts in the capabilities on the platform. But the thing that really defines a platform engineer is their focus on the interfaces. And today, that's what we're going to talk about is how a platform engineer creates these interfaces for their users. And we're not going to focus on the capabilities behind the scenes. But I guess to do that, we sort of have to define what an interface is, Whitney. So an interface is an experience that a user has to go through to get the thing that they want. So this is a big deal. It can make or break the success of your platform. If your users love using the interface, great. If not, you're dead in the water. Yeah, and it can feel really challenging to do that, can it? It can be. It was really overwhelming, actually, to pair their many, many, many, many possible interfaces and many, many, many possible capabilities. So how do you even begin to think of which interface is good for which capability? I think the only possible answer is one of those kind of game show games, where it's just to spin the wheel and see what comes. How else can you go with these many, many choices? There are so many, might as well just spin a huge wheel and do it randomly. So what do you say we spin a huge wheel and do it randomly? Do that? Yeah. So these are genuinely random. Abby and I do not know what's going to come up right now. On the left, we have a big wheel full of lots of possible interfaces. On the right, a big wheel filled with lots of possible capabilities. So let's see what we get. See if it makes a good combination. All right, so the first interface we have is a mobile app. A mobile app? And this is in order to get the capability of authentication. I mean, this is my day-to-day life, right? You have to sign in and get your 2FA code. And I definitely never get distracted by a text message. It's definitely the best possible interface for me. What I do is I like, OK, I need my code. I pick up my phone. I answer text. I put my phone back down. And I'm like, wait, what was I doing? And by then, it's timed out. This is an interface combination that works, doesn't it? We have this. So therefore, randomly pairing is a good idea. And we should keep doing it. Yes, yeah. I think so. I think so. Let's do another combination. See if we continue this winning streak. So what if we had a ticketing system? We all are used to those in order to get ephemeral test environments. I started my career in QA. And so actually, this was very much my life. I would send in a ticket and say, I would like to test this application at this version. Can you please get that environment ready for me? And with an ephemeral one, too, it makes me think it's kind of short-term and kind of casual.  I need to test real quick. Let me call Cindy and wait.  Oh, no, her son's sick. Like, what are we going to do?  You don't really know. You have to check it, probably go back and ask for more things. So this is not a great pairing. But can we put words as to why? It feels like what we're talking about is how much I have to depend on someone else. Ah, so what you're talking about is autonomy. Autonomy. Autonomy. So let's use these wheel spins as a way to think about characteristics to consider when pairing an interface with a capability. Makes sense. And with autonomy, what we're talking about is how many dependencies you have to go through to get access to the capability that you need. With high autonomy, it's self-service. And with low, you have a lot of dependencies. I like being in control. I know what I want. I know when I want it. So therefore, 100% of the time, I always want self-service. I don't even know why this is here. Self-service is totally better than waiting on a dependency period. Well, I even have a spectrum, right? Yeah. OK, so then if you want self-service, what kind of interface would you use? I would use a portal. No, no, no, no, no. OK, so a portal. I love a portal. When I want something, I go to the portal. I have capability discovery. I can see what's available to me. Choose the best thing. There's some education alongside that might help me make my choice. Or even as I'm filling out the field, some validation, I feel in control, and it feels great. I love using a portal. But we do have a spectrum for a reason here, Whitney. So maybe we talk about the other end of the spectrum as well, the low autonomy side. And I hope no one has been given any tomatoes on the way in the door, because what I'm going to be talking about is our beloved ticketing platform. Are you advocating for a ticketing platform right now? Looking at me in my eyes, tell me to use a ticketing platform. I know. It feels so wrong. But let's talk about it, right? Because with a ticketing platform, we're able to ask someone for help, right? And sometimes, I'd much rather just ask someone for something, wait a couple days, than have to try and learn it all by myself. That's a good point. If you're not in a hurry for it, then maybe you don't have to bother learning about it. Yeah. And also, sometimes it can be quite scary doing things, things that cost a lot of money or have really high security risk. Actually, being able to go to an expert and ask them to participate in that process. OK. You're changing my mind. You're changing my mind. If something goes wrong, I want to have someone else to blame. No, no, no. Teamwork. We're talking teamwork here, not blame. But I just have to say, as a former consultant, I know it always depends. And I'm just going to say, it depends. I stand corrected. OK. Yes. So let's spin the wheel again. What do you say? Starting to see this spinning wheel is useful. OK. Yeah. Let's come up with something. All right, let's see what we get this time around. So for our interface, we have a wiki. A wiki? And what are we going to get? We're going to get managing authorization. So I bet this is where you're going to have your, as I said, random. This is where you're going to have your wiki and you're going to have your table. And that table is going to have the item of the website you want to give access to and what user groups have access to it. And that's definitely going to stay up to date. 100%. Yes, to maintain it. No, no, not at all. Pretty low autonomy. So this is not a good pairing. No. But can we think about why it's not a good pairing? Like, what are we, what's feeling wrong about it? Well, it feels like when I want to give authorization to something, I know the tool I want to give authorization to, and it's not the wiki. It's the product. It's the website. It's that tool that I want to be giving that authorization to. So you want to be staying within the context where it makes sense. Oh, contextual distance. So for contextual distance, we want to consider where the user is when that light bulb goes off. That's like, now I need this capability. Where's your user at that moment? That makes sense. And I know that I was able to possibly make you think low autonomy is maybe sometimes useful. But let's be honest, flow state is the only thing that matters when it comes to software delivery. That's what we're trying to optimize for in software. And so why would I ever want to have a high contextual distance? I think this one is low contextual distance always. I hear you. I agree that flow state is sacred. But I'm going to make a case for why you might need a higher contextual distance. Make your best case. But I'm just saying, IDE plug-in. Tell me why you love it. I'm going to make the case that an IDE plug-in, when you're writing software, just can't get to be a better contextual distance interface. You're there. You're writing your code. You get your code linting. You get your feedback. You might get documentation and code generation. When you're writing code, how could you ever want to go outside of your IDE? All right. I'm going to answer your question with a question. What do you do when you get stuck? Run it again. Maybe make a commit that says, like, please this time. I don't know. What do you mean? Maybe go ask a teammate. Would you maybe switch your context to get a new perspective? Maybe, sometimes. So human interaction is a great interface for sure, or a necessary one sometimes. And then also, there could be other times to switch contextual distance. So for example, if you're looking at a ton of logs and you want a graphical way to see that information, that can be a great context switch. If you're deep in your microservice, it might be a good idea to step back and look at an architectural diagram and understand how it's relating to other microservices. All right. A taste of my own medicine. What we're learning is maybe there isn't an always. I get it, even if there's a usually. We'll go with a usually. We want to try something else, see if we can find another pairing. All right, let's spin those wheels. And for this time, we're going to have a code template interface. And it's going to be to we'll go with Create Service Catalogs with this template. I think this actually sort of works, right? You want to have a consistent way of displaying your service in the catalog. And I know my service really well. I should be able to define it in code. I think this might be an OK pairing, I think. OK. So I think it's what part of what makes it a good pairing then is because you know so much about the service catalog you're trying to create. Yeah, I'm an expert. If you didn't know anything about that service catalog, then interfacing it with a code template would make no sense. It would be a bit tougher. I think it would be a bit tougher, wouldn't it? But thankfully, I'm a capability expert when it comes to my own service. So having access to that code template, being able to really make sure I can have a deep alignment with my service within that code feels like a good fit. So when you're thinking about the user, you want to think about the user's capability skill. Yeah, so is it for experts or is it for everybody? Yeah, what's the capability skill that's good for experts? Capability skill is the CLI. This is, yes, some beginners for a capability can use CLIs. There's often sensible defaults when they come to it. But these are really built for the experts. You have access to the flags. You have to think about how these flags interact with each other. And I think there's just no better example of how CLIs are built for experts than just the example up here, which is I'm sure everyone in this room's favorite CLI, the Cube CTL, Cube Cuddle. I don't know, I'm gonna get tomatoes this time too. And you look at this, and the beginner level commands are create, expose, run, and set. That feels awfully beginner, right? I think, I love that explain is intermediate. Yeah, who needs a documentation? It's fine. Don't need that until you're at least intermediate. So they're really powerful, but you do sort of have to know how the things work to be able to use them well. Okay, and then an interface where you don't have to understand how the capability works might be a sidecar, which is an interface that's almost invisible or can be invisible to the user altogether. So you might use a sidecar as a way to scale your application. And the person who's actually making an application never has to know about it. Or maybe a sidecar as a way to, oh, I just got nervous and lost my train of thought. A sidecar as a way to scan. So scan for vulnerabilities. And so maybe the user never needs to know unless there's a vulnerability they need to address. Wait, I can have secure code and not have to think about it? Perfect interface, I take it back. Perfect interface, right? Awesome, let's spin another wheel, the last one. I think we got time for one more, let's see. All right, so for our interface we have my beloved expert CLI. And this is to get access to documentation. And we have some examples of this, don't we? That wouldn't have happened, yeah. Run your help command and you can navigate around how to do that. So you don't have to switch context. That's exactly, so you can see some of these things interact with each other and you can talk about autonomy and contextual distance as well. But the other thing about documentation in the CLI is you gotta be pretty good in the terminal to use it, right? You've sort of gotta be able to use less and you have to know how to exit. Is that Q or is it W, what are we doing, right? You gotta have a little bit of experience. Yeah, like my dad could read documentation, my dad couldn't navigate a CLI, right? Yeah, so kind of what you're saying is is that there's another thing to think about which is the interface skill. So this isn't about how much you know about the capability behind the scenes. This is about how much you have to know to just use the interface. Is it made for those specialists or can anyone sort of do it and be used to it? I've learned not to say always and never but my gut really tells me that I wanna make interfaces that have low interface skills so that my capability is widely available across my organization. Seems like a kind thing to do. What would be a good example of that? A documentation. Yeah. Documentation. So documentation is, there's a way that it's almost always laid out. Like on the left-hand side, we have a menu at the top is the beginner's stuff. At the bottom is the more expert stuff. That these days there's probably like a chat bot and the bottom right too and contact information in the top right. So it's familiar. I know where to go no matter what documentation I'm visiting, I have a good idea of how to interact with that interface to get the knowledge that I'm after. Particularly the web documentation, right? Exactly, but on the other end of that spectrum, there are interfaces that are more specialized, right? A good example would be those code templates that got mentioned before. With code templates, yes. Using them can be really simple. You just have a simple Helm's value file. I'm not sure I've ever put those two words together before, but it should be simple, right? And a Terraform module should be simple to use. But when you're really using a code template, you're taking ownership of that code. So you have to not only know how to read code, you have to read someone else's code and everyone knows that's more difficult. And you have to read whatever language they're writing in. So it actually takes a fair amount of skill in the interface to know how to extend that code and make changes to it, and even just read what is possible with that code. So it's pretty expertise. So the reason you might want that, I kind of get it. Like if you're an artist and you paint with oil paints and you can make these gorgeous paintings with perfect carols shading, just like Mona Lisa. And then someone's like, hey, hey, let me help you out. So that's a hard interface. I'm gonna give you a box of crayons. You're welcome. Now you have an easy interface. Just to be clear, I'll take the crayons, but we'll leave Whitney with the oils. She's the mastermind behind our slides. So yeah, it's sort of, it's hard when someone wants to make it easier for you, but you have an expertise you want to use through a specialized interface. So again, a spectrum, no right and no wrong. So we've been through a lot. We started this, or I started this, completely overwhelmed about how to pair up different interfaces with different capabilities. And now I'm feeling much happier because I think we've come up with some really good characteristics to evaluate when making this decision. So let's do a bit of a recap, why don't we? Yeah. The first thing we talked about was autonomy. This is the measure of how many dependencies that you need to go through to get access to your capability. Is it self-service, or do you have to depend on external dependency? And then we talked about contextual distance, which is where you are when that light bulb goes off, that you need the capability, or more importantly, where your user is when their light bulb goes off. Do you want to give it to them the capability where they are so they keep their flow, or do you want to ask them to switch context so they get a bigger picture view? The third one we did was capability skills. So this is whether or not your users need to be experts in that capability they're getting access to, or is this something that anyone can do and anyone should be able to benefit from? And then we have interface skills. So how much expertise does a user need to have in the interface itself? And how easy do you want to make it to use? So it's harder to use, but more powerful, easier to use, but then we're making choices for you. And we didn't just talk about these sliders, we used some examples. And we talked about a number of different interface options. And we have all of these options that we talk about and that fall in different places on those different sliders. And one important thing is it's not a one-to-one pairing. You can have many different interfaces for one capability. Yeah, I mean, I guess I think about cloud providers and I often will go to their web interface and use their console. And then as I want to try and automate things and become an expert, I tend to use their CLI and then Whitney. Abby, we forgot an interface. That's the most important. It's like the most important interface. That's sort of embarrassing. On Cloud from Engineering Day, in front of these amazing... We didn't forget. We remembered it. Oh, good. APIs. APIs are very important interface. They're building blocks that can underpin all of these other interfaces. Exactly.  So they kind of underpin things, but you don't always want to use an API directly, do you? Yeah, APIs can be a little... They're not the prettiest interface, you know? No. They're kind of like a pig. Yeah, maybe. Maybe? So you want to give lipstick to your pig? Yeah. On your API pig. So we have this API pig. This is an important part of the puzzle of interfaces for platform engineering, but it's not always the prettiest thing on the block and it needs a little dressing up. So it might not be a matter of whether you put lipstick on your pig, but more a matter of what color lipstick you choose for your pig to wear. And the best thing about lipstick is you can change it every day. You can change it multiple times a day. Is it an evening wear pig? That's the end of our talk. I'm Whitney. This is Abby. We're two humans who take ourselves very seriously. We have API pig stickers. So if you see us around, please ask us for a sticker and say hello. And please give us some feedback. Thank you so much. Yes, it's time for questions. Thank you for that, Whitney and Abby, that was awesome. We do have a little bit of time for questions. Does anybody have a question? We got all our random out during the talk, huh? No. Okie dokie. Then thank you both. That was excellent. Yeah, thank you.


Attraction can come in all different forms. Love is love. Most of the time, we talk about romance and attraction in the context of a man and a woman. That isn't always the case. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of research into the LGBTQ elements of attraction. As time goes on, we're sure that more data will be made available. But for the time being, here's a few signs of attraction that we think apply to LGBTQ couples. Numerous studies have shown that attraction is linked with dilation of the pupils. One study even mentions that same-sex attraction and bisexual attraction can be observed by measuring pupil dilation.  The eyes never lie. If someone is attracted to you, they're probably going to take every opportunity they can to touch you. We feel that this applies to LGBTQ couples just as much as it does for heterosexual couples. One study stated that touching was a major sign of flirting, mostly when greeting or saying goodbye. The longer couples touched, the higher the attraction. Once again, we return to the eyes, the windows to the soul. Studies have shown that maintaining eye contact is a major sign of attraction and flirting. The longer someone keeps eye contact, the more likely that they're attracted to you.  That's why this is a universal sign of attraction that often holds true. Sure, sometimes people just want to wear revealing outfits without trying to attract others. We're not saying that showing skin always means that someone is attracted to you, but one study found that a common flirting technique was subtly exposing more of the body to their crush. An example might be something as innocent as rolling up the sleeves. Could this be a sign of flirting that extends to the world of LGBTQ? We think so. Sometimes it's easy to see that someone is attracted to you. It's written all over their face. Some are harder to read than others, but there are facial expressions that only say one thing. I'm interested. According to one study, a big sign of flirting is a coy glance. This could definitely be a sign that is just as common in the LGBTQ world, as it's a pretty universal facial expression that means the same thing, no matter who you are. When we're interested in someone, we tend to paint ourselves in the best possible light. It's only natural. We want our crush to see the best, most attractive side of ourselves. In the world of psychology, this is known as self-promotion, and a few studies have mentioned it as a major sign of flirting. Could this be a sign that your LGBTQ crush is interested? We don't see why not. One Redditor has this to say about the matter. We like to say we can pick up on vibes and other stuff, but in all honesty, we either just ask, go to a gay bar, still ask, or pick up an app and talk to local gays in the area. I've found there are some social events that gays will get together and do stuff such as weekly book clubs and just coffee shop chats. Overall, it's really just asking. This is actually really good advice for everyone, not just LGBTQ people. If you really want to know if your crush likes you, then just ask. There's no better way. I smile at hot boys who are dressed well, particularly if there's bright colors or skinny jeans involved. If they're gay, they'll usually smile back, although if they're not single or interested, the smile will be somewhat reserved. That's definitely another interesting approach. It seems like a mixture of both the outfits and smiling is enough to let this person know whether someone likes them back. It seems to work well for them.

Welcome to the Tick-Mill Update, I'm Canada and you're the founder of the Investiva Movement. A Monday crude futures dropped 2% to 3 months lows as the death toll from China's coronavirus grew, curtailing travel and feeling expectations of slowing oil demand. Wall Street also sold a bunch of stocks in the fear of coronavirus, something that I consider as an awesome opportunity to buy, actually. Tomorrow we're expecting the US Durable Goods Orders and Consumer Confidence Index as well as Australia's CPI during the Asian session. Today I'm looking at the CAD Yen pair which followed oil prices in the past few days and dove into the daily Ichimoku Cloud on Monday. The Ichimoku Cloud is acting as a strong support at the moment and we may see a correction before the bear's attempt to break below the cloud in the coming days. The key support levels are set at 82.23, 81.49 and 80.79 respectively. Now I'd like to hear from you, do you think coronavirus will continue to impact commodity driven currencies like the Looney this week? Are you shorting these markets? Head over to the comment section and let me know. Of course trading the financial markets involves a risk of loss and you should only trade the money that you can afford to lose. But if you liked this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the Tick-Mill YouTube channel. I'll get back to you with more updates tomorrow.
