You can now create your own maps in my battleship game at geoffburns.github.io/battleship/src/ geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil… or the original blog post by selecting it from the hunt mode dropdown. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil…
You can find the new hide and seek version of my battleship game at geoffburns.github.io/battleship/src/ geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil… you and select it from the old version in my blog by selecting it from the hunt mode dropdown. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/penc...
Added some new maps to the both the paper version and the online version of my battleship game. I also added a hide and seek more to the online game. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil…
Added an online game to my Pencil & Paper Battleships article. So people can try out the different maps before printing them out. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil…
🚀 Just updated my article on Continuous Learning & Professional Development Planning! ✅ How to choose the right skills ✅ Strengths vs. weaknesses ✅ T-shaped & π-shaped skillsets geoffburns.blogspot.com/2021/05/select… #CareerGrowth #Learning #ProfessionalDevelopment #TShapedSkills
Posted a New Software Development Article! "You’ve Been Using Functional Ideas All Along—Now Understand Them" Optionals, Lists and Monads. Category theory is not just for functional programmers anymore. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/08/why-ob…
Wrapped up my 3 part article on Developing Useful Applications with UX & DX — Why You Need Both From prototypes to real products, here’s what actually matters: geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/08/develo…
Part 2 of Developing Useful Applications is Out Persistence: How Information Sticks Around and What Happens if it Doesn't You’re not just managing data. You’re managing entropy, history, and human decisions. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/08/develo…
Why real apps are more than just code—and how aligning Intent, Concept, and Implementation helps you survive complexity and deliver lasting value. New Article geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/08/develo…
People keep on asking for smaller maps for my version of the Pencil & Paper Battleships game. So 2 new maps on top of the 2 maps I released 5 days ago for a total of eleven geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil…
New article: People Matter – And Feedback Isn’t Optional geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/07/giving… Too often, we skip the hard conversations—especially about people issues. But silence breeds dysfunction. 🎯 Feedback should be timely, specific, and mutual. Culture depends on it.
Just updated my blog post on the my variation of the Pencil & Paper Battleships game! I added 7 more maps based on the feedback on the old maps geoffburns.blogspot.com/2015/10/pencil…
New Article: Making Work Actually... Flow Too many bugs, late feedback, and chaotic releases? Your work isn’t flowing—it’s clogging. How to fix it: 🪓 Split big stories 🔁 Tighten feedback loops 🤖 Automate relentlessly geoffburns.blogspot.com/2025/07/making…
finding gold or oil, you need a good map—magnetic, radiometric, or seismic—and an expert to read it. Visualising that data took hours… unless you knew the one guy who did it faster. I noticed. I asked questions. I improved it dramatically. geoffburns.blogspot.com/2021/04/positi…
One of the most impactful things I’ve done in my career? Overhauling a broken hiring process—with zero HR background. It taught me: persistence + action > apathy. You don’t need to be an expert to start fixing things. You do need to care. Blog post: geoffburns.blogspot.com/2014/05/hiring…
