I like 29.2 Million others as of 2/11/16 watched 1,000 individual contributors play one song together. See the Rockin 1000 here It might not be your favorite song, or even the best song by the Foo Fighters, maybe you don't even like music; but when you watch this you can see the joy created when we accomplish things together. If you have not watched it yet and you are just reading take a few minutes to watch and take it in.

Did you see the passion, the pride, the FUN! I did!

The purpose of the video was a plea for the Foo Fighters to come to Italy and put on a concert - I have no proof but I bet the 1,000 participants had more fun doing this than attending the concert.

Most of my experiences start me to thinking about software, teams, Agile, and DevOps. We get so balled up in trying to compose the best music (Architecture), the cadence of what we will play (Sprints and Ceremonies), the rules of the instruments (roles and responsibilities) and the minutia of being a good musician (languages etc). Was timing and coordination required - you bet! But I see people playing off each other as much as the conductor.
I want to be on the Rockin 1000 team!
