description: Learning from our mistakes is what makes a team into a 'learning organization'

A while ago, someone commented to me that their group was a 'learning organization' and that was why they encouraged ongoing training, arranged bootcamps, lunch and learns etc. I am very supportive of ongoing formal and informal training, but I realized that this was completely not what I have had in mind when I described **our team** as a learning organization.

My most recent bit of [beer tourism]({{< relref "beer-tourism.md" >}}) happened on a wonderful trip to Spain. While traveling to European countries, I often end up drinking lagers. This is not my regular choice at home, but my travel beer choice system is based on an overall desire to drink a local beer if available and the fact that I **really** prefer beer on tap (or _cerveza de barril_ in spanish).

I'm sure there are many other craft beer spots in Madrid, but finding them wasn't the main purpose of my family vacation. We were very happy to find a spot with so many great craft beers right where we were staying.

Oh, and the pizza was great too! :)

I like travelling and I like beer.
I like traveling and I like beer.

When I travel, I often like to combine these two interests by trying to find some local brewery or a local craft-beer focused pub. So far I have had the pleasure to try out local beers in a bunch of places in the US, Spain, Amsterdam, the UK, and over the past few years in China.

The existence of new image formats that offer better quality at smaller file sizes is not a new occurrence. [WebP](https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/) has been around for around a decade, [AVIFs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#AV1_Image_File_Format_(AVIF)) are becoming more widely supported, and now [JPEG XL](https://cloudinary.com/blog/how_jpeg_xl_compares_to_other_image_codecs) is here; continuing to only offer JPEG and PNG images is missing out on some serious file size savings.
