Hello friends!
Firstly, you're probably asking why The Weekly has stopped being so, well, weekly!? I hit a lull in my writing mostly driven by how I publish posts on my (now old) blog. Introducing – the new blog!
I spent this last week between our three Melbourne offices. An interesting mix of API strategy, tech-docs & engineering work. I'm hoping to share some more detail around that in the next few weeks!
This also inspired my most recent post "API Specs are for more than just docs" (and of course I highly recommend reading that post!).
This week's links go back few weeks (I've been reading, just not writing!)

This is a really lovely scenario/post exploring how we slice and complete development tasks. Its emphasis on linking to the bigger picture is key to the storytelling and team buy-in that's needed for larger projects.
Read the post.Thats it for this week! Lots to blog about with the new site 🙂
Until next week!
