when you accidentally jump from a clojure repl window to a python window then it takes a while until you understand while the computer doesn't understand you šŸ˜„

Hey, weird question (as always.) How did you learn to give good feedback? Is there a book you would recommend on the subject?

This was pretty good, I think Alex shared it on Cognicast last time: https://blog.navapbc.com/when-it-comes-to-feedback-start-with-yourself-801684120cca

Interesting they advise against the shit sandwich technique

3Jane20:12:37

I was taught that as a good practice. Maybe it degenerated.

Also interesting re: blur words. Sheā€™s asking people to provide feedback that follows the ā€œactionable and measurableā€ part of SMART goals.

(Important from diversity perspective in that women get ā€œblurredā€ feedback more often than men, thereā€™s a nice HBR podcast episode about that.)

I heard that the sandwich technique isnā€™t very good at a workshop as well, but I forgot the reasoning behind the claim

Thereā€™s some stuff in https://www.radicalcandor.com/ that might be useful.

Which I see is quoted from the blog-post

(Iā€™m looking for something that could be used as a training manual, with practical exercises. Personally I learned feedback/analysis skills through Toastmasters, but Iā€™d like to find an alternative to their manual, since Iā€™m not looking to start a Toastmasters group and Iā€™m sure there are license restrictions.)
