We had a first retro/team day with one of the project teams I'm part of. Due to the Covid situation the team has been fully remote and even this retro was way overdue. The team also has a couple of new colleagues I haven't been working before as well as members from the customers side. So it was nice to spend a day with them just getting to know each other a bit better and reflect the past year of project work.
One of the classic opener for these kind of occasions seems to be the "share a fun fact about yourself". Sometimes is hard to come up even just one thing that would be suitable and interesting enough to tell. Other times there are so many things I would like to share it's hard to just pick one.
This time, like most of the times recently actually, I decided to tell that i have been writing daily for quite a while now, a bit over four years. I'm not sure it's really a fun fact, but I like to believe it's rather unique and special thing. A good starter to get the discussion going in many possible directions.
