Fantastic post! I'll be saving it for future reference 😅 the bit about allowing developers to reflect after finishing a task really resonated with me, and it seems tied to implementing better processes. I would argue that SCRUM and Kanban encourage team leads and product owner/managers to focus almost exclusively on story points, and developers aren't empowered or don't know how to shift the narrative away from imaginary points ticking up, and more towards the value being delivered. Functionally the same outcome though.
Its a very challenging environment for new coders without any mentor to guide at least for a few months, it's changing slowly but it's one of the reason I left tech job 6 years back and I was happy about it. Till I faced and realized every industry is like that if you are not in the inner circle of the team or management. Finding the right team or companies that suits me seems to be more difficult. Your post is shedding light to this situation and solution. Thanks for sharing your valuable insights Rizel Scarlett.
Excellent post, I'll come back to it a couple of times. I am very lucky with the environment I started up in, and I would like to keep it that way, once it is my turn. Thank you!
Excellent, wonderful post. Contempt Culture is real, and it's really no surprise when you look at some of the early internet pioneers. They may have created some great things, but a lot of them seem like real assholes, and we're still trying to dig ourselves out of that toxic culture they created.
