The final count of respondents to the Rands Leadership Survey was 1274. Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey. I’ve called in volunteers to help scrub and normalize the survey data and will have a detailed report published here. It will also be sent to the inboxes of those who requested a copy.

Here’s the breakdown of answers to the question: “Where would you be willing to invest your time?”

Four of the top five answers involve us getting together in some fashion and discussing the craft and/or bitching. This resonates, so in what might be a horrible mistake, I’ve created a public Slack channel where we can do just that thing. I was originally thinking a mailing list would be the move here, but email is a blight and you don’t need more email.

This Slack channel is a low risk and low commitment experiment and is not the only consequence of this survey – simply the first. If you’d like to productively join the conversation, please send your email address to [email protected] and we’ll get you in an invite as quickly as possible.
