Paper Jams
Once a month, I host a one-hour video call with all subscribers to my paid Paper Jams plan. Calls happen on a Friday, usually at 1pm or 2pm UTC. They're not recorded and follow the Chatham House Rule.
In the call, we discuss a paper relevant to what could be called the Human Factors of Making Software.
If that sounds interesting — subscribe to the Paper Jams plan below. You'll get an invite to the next call.
Here's a history of Paper Jams so far.
