Whenever I go out for a walk now, I get a monologue in my head about everything wrong with my team... But using managerial terms like man-month, velocity, chaotic, context switching costs, lack of processes and standards, need for more slack, too much low value busy work, technical debt, scope creep, (violation of) the two-pizza rule... by a lot

all these concepts are one-way. They will enter in your head, but you can't use them to communicate with others.

They are also highly theoretical. It's difficult to find somebody that will understand you.

In my experience, the only way out of frustration it's to try to take concrete actions.
Which will lead to other kind of frustrations, because you will encounter physical barriers...

But at least you will make conflicts explicit.

good luck

@deviloper I have made them explicit... For years. The only barrier is I'm not the boss.

@billgates yeah well, that's a huge one

@billgates but still you are in charge of a team. So looks like you have responsibility but little authority

@deviloper no I'm not actually, I'm a dev but I just see these things because I've read a lot of coding books like The Effective Engineer, Code Complete, etc.

Which is why these monologues are so strange.... I really shouldn't need to use these terms...

Just too a personality because I was just reading a book about them.... Guess that explains it perfectly

interesting reading. I think I've got all the strengths of the 16 personalities, but none of the weaknesses....hmmm maybe something is wrong :-)
