## What Jamie wrote

Charity Majors with a great article about engineering teams and what makes great engineering organizations. A quip I think about a lot: All great technology organizations are learning organizations. I think you see that in what Majors suggests here. It is about making the act of being an engineer approachable and learnable. Creating build and CI systems that allow innovation to be done safely and quickly. Shipping frequently. It is about the **team** that delivers great software.
