The final video in a series on high skilled immigration. Nearly 80% of Americans support increasing high-skilled immigration - across all political lines. It is time to listen to the majority, not just the loudest voices. In partnership with the Economic Innovation Group.

It amazes me that the most important metrics (lines of code, story points, cycle time, devex satisfaction) in development are the two that are never discussed, let alone measured ... mean time to answer (mttA) and mean time to question (mttQ).
There’s a natural phenomenon called “The Edge Effect”. In ecology terms, it’s where two extremely different environments meet (i.e. desert meets rain forest). These regions all over the world are known to have some of the highest biodiversity

- do things early and often (commiting, refactoring, testing, releasing)
- work in pairs and mobs
And don't forget, it is all about making your customers happy.
