Seven Is a Committee with Zero Decisions.](https://www.v01.io/posts/2026/08/three-people-is-a-team/) _2026-08-20 · English Blogposts on Klaus Breyer_ Three people have three lines of communication. Seven people have 21. That is Brooks' Law : communication overhead grows much faster than headcount. This single insight should change how you staff every phase of product development. The Math Is Simple, the Implications Are Not ¶ With three people, everyone talks to two others. Three communication lines. Manageable. Productive. Fast decisions.

As with French Polynesia , the format is again an excerpt of my thoughts as I had them during the journey: originally published in a private family blog, only lightly edited for flow and shortened by cutting some of the probably boring activity details.

The engineers review them, give a little feedback, and then start implementing. Somewhere along the way, they discover parts that nobody thought through, because one discipline designed the solution and handed it to the next. Breadboarding flips this. The name comes from electronics: a breadboard is a prototyping… ## [HOF: Selectors on Bubble?](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/hof-selectors-on-bubble) _2026-08-13 · Frank Cooney · Hall of Football_ Reality Check sobers Canton afterparty ## [AFC West Trench Breakdown](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/afc-west-trench-breakdown) _2026-08-12 · eric k · Hall of Football_ Part 8: Focusing on play of offensive and defensive fronts ## [HOF 2026 Class: Five Roads to Canton](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/hof-2026-class-five-roads-to-canton) _2026-08-09 · Frank Cooney · Hall of Football_ 49ers fullback Roger Craig reveals he is navigating vascular dementia ## [Open coordination for humans & AI (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/DpN26RNrmBAY) _2026-08-09 · **Sponsored**_ Shared schemas and CLI tooling to validate, route, and audit human-agent workflows. ## [Bill Walsh can now Rest in Peace](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/bill-walsh-can-now-rest-in-peace) _2026-08-08 · Frank Cooney · Hall of Football_ Roger Craig -- HOF Class of 2026 -- was key piece in West Coast Offense; see story, stats, video ## [Hall of Fame: Family Matters](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/hall-of-fame-family-matters) _2026-08-07 · Howard Balzer · Hall of Football_ What began as a heartfelt gesture evolved into an enduring tradition ## [2027 NFL Draft: Five OTs in 1st Round?](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/2027-nfl-draft-five-ots-in-1st-round) _2026-08-07 · Frank Cooney · Hall of Football_ Texas LT Goosby on top: See expanded ratings on more than 1,200 prospects ## [Hall of Fame: Full History of inductees](https://halloffootball.substack.com/p/hall-of-fame-full-history-of-inductees) _2026-08-06 · Frank Cooney · Hall of Football_ Free downloadable chart for your reference, with Expert level answers to trivia questions during celebration week ## [franken.domains: Stitched-Together Domains, Because Every Dictionary .com Is Taken](https://www.v01.io/posts/2026/08/franken-domains/) _2026-08-01 · English Blogposts on Klaus Breyer_ Every dictionary word .com is taken.

Trunk-based development vs. a more traditional branching model with a long-lived secondary branch. The team was split. People had good arguments on both sides. One engineer had prepared the discussion well, laying out all the pros and cons on a Confluence page.

No algorithm quizzing, no whiteboard, just Pairing in our actual codebase, on a real task. That session is the core of how I run technical interviews these days.

A keynote does not change how a team works. This post is the other half: the concrete workshop format we used to turn “interesting” into “what do we actually change on Monday”.

The topic: the transformation of the product development lifecycle through AI. To open it, I gave a keynote. No neat framework, no finished playbook. Instead, a barrage of hypotheses I had collected from my own bubble over the previous months: things people I trust were writing, building, and arguing about. Some of these theses contradict each other, and… ## [A Proof-Irrelevant Tiny Object](https://jcreedcmu.github.io/posts/2026-05-09/) _2026-05-09 · jcreedcmu.github.io_ ## [Theopoetics: on language, body, and the unsayable](https://janececilia.substack.com/p/theopoetics-on-language-body-and) _2026-04-26 · Jane Cecilia · The Unfolding_ A brief explanation ## [AI publishing with human taste (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Drypu07WGK7q) _2026-04-26 · **Sponsored**_ Convert AI research into blogs, podcasts, and newsletters with optional human review. ## [Field Notes: Workflow Principles](https://www.v01.io/posts/2026/04/workflow-principles/) _2026-04-23 · English Blogposts on Klaus Breyer_ Developers and designers each had four tickets in progress at the same time - and by “in progress,” I mean actually in progress: including tickets in review and tickets in testing. That’s a direct violation of one of the most basic Kanban principles: limit work in progress. The symptom is always the same. The board looks busy. Nothing ships.

In the early days of software development, tickets served an important purpose: they protected developers from overbearing management and created structure in a simpler process.
