Release the Kraken – Jeff Clark's Blog

The Seattle Kraken logo and jersey is great. No white anywhere on the home jersey (supposedly deliberate: “no white, no surrender”).
It’s surprising to me that we don’t hear more about the progress being made on a Coronavirus vaccine, but there are more than 100 in development, with four in the latest stage. Makes me sleep a little better at night.
A colleague shared a brief way of thinking about product development opportunity cost. Being able to justify $1m in additional revenue per new team member puts an objective lens on a strangely subjective process.
Same colleague, similar topic. The Four Laws of Software Economics. It’s so easy to be nice and mish-mash opinions together into a plan forward, so “strategy requires judgement” may be my professional mantra for a little while.
I can’t get “What’d I Miss” out of my head. In fact, I can’t get the entire Hamilton soundtrack out of my head. Since seeing it for the first time on July 5th and making it my running playlist, my average running pace has dropped 31 seconds per mile.
It looks like it’s going to be a fantastic weekend to be on (or near) the water around here, even if we have to dress a little differently this year. Summer is in full swing.
