UGHHH REAL if u dont trust ppl to do their jobs then maybe u should do everything by urself instead 😭

Daily meetings are a micromanaging shitshow.

Most people know these 15-minute stand-ups are useless. But they do them anyway because "that's how it should be."

One day, the corporate world decided that Scrum answered every problem. Daily meetings became popular. Everyone. Every day. No exceptions.

When did we become numb to how inefficient this is? How much time do companies waste every year in this charade?

The funny part is that Scrum sells these by telling us they are a way to avoid other meetings. You gotta be kidding me!

Unfortunately, I've participated in daily stand-ups for decades. If I were to compress these years into a single story, it would read like this:

• We are still waiting for some. Where is he? We can't start unless we are all here. We are late already.

• There's a manager in the meeting. We know she shouldn't be here. Who is going to tell her?

• We take turns reading from a JIRA board shared on the big screen. Everyone can read, but we still do it out loud. She wants to hear us say it.

• Yesterday wasn't a great day, but I won't admit it. Instead, let me tell her, "I'm making great progress" and "I'm getting closer than ever."

• We are all talking to her. She said this is a "safe space." We trust her, of course. Now, she is questioning anyone who isn't moving fast enough.

• 15 minutes in, and we are still here. Same as yesterday.

The first time I led a team, I stopped daily stand-ups. One of the first principles of getting shit done is "maximizing uninterrupted time." Daily meetings are in direct conflict with that.

Why should I force everyone to be at the same time and place while stopping everything else?

I asked everyone to write instead. Some people wrote every day. Some people, whenever they had something to say.

10x improvement overnight. For the project and the team.

I've talked to many people about this. Many tell me developers will never communicate unless you force them into a room daily. They say I shouldn't trust them to put in writing what they need to tell everyone else.

They may be right. They need a better team.

One of my favorite things in the world:

Ask data scientists to participate in these daily meetings.

What did you do yesterday?

Yesterday, I explored different values for a few hyperparameters.

What are you doing today?

Today, I will change other hyperparameters and train the model again.

I know I call it "synth madness," but I can't deny that Jack is good at his job. The stems and layers are so freaking good! 😭😭😭 Another reason why I love listening to Dolby Atmos stems so much is that it's the perfect way to digest and appreciate music 😫

Who are these people named after because I know Blake Lively has not birthed 7 people in the last 2 years

[music struggles @musicstruggles1]

i don’t *dislike* the first half exactly, i just think a lot of those songs could be better captured with a different sonic palette. certainly the album would be a more engaging listen for many if the “sonic palette” was more diverse haha. i agree many people are just being mean for the sake of it with little constructive criticism to back it up
