Quality is like a cooking fire

30 Sep 2026

In this moment: Stu Day
Just finished Stu Day's excellent session on storytelling, and as you can clearly see from my amazing lego building skills, I imagined quality as a cooking on top of a fire. It requires thought, it's a bit dangerous and you might need multiple people to pull it off, but you also have a hearty meal and a stable, warming fire at the end of it.
