My hypothesis is that those people I worked with circa 2007-2015 that did Scrum really well (not everyone did), were happy about using Scrum, and delivered good results, ended up progressing/moving into management and lost contact with

> Bonus points for no PR’s and trunk driven development as that shows a very mature team. Trunk driven does not mean mature team 100% of the time, but if you have a mature team trunk-driven is more efficient than PRs. It only works if ei

I see most discussions around liking/disliking remote work include the infrastructure/equipment as argument. I personally like remote in great part because of it. I love my 4k display, my standing desk, my keyboard, my Aeron Chair

This summarizes my situation, with one exception: the occasional trips (~twice a month) to work from the local coffeeshop, and/or ~twice a year trips to company retreats, helped varying the scenery and avoiding feeling burned out. Now

Agreed, what you describe is the status quo, where we have small evolutions through diets and drugs. But I'm not completely on the pessimistic side because there's one thing that could change everything: the moment someone discove

I've done intermittent fasting both on a fat-based diet and on a carbs based-diet. On a carbs based diet, it feels like there's an animal inside me craving for food all the time. Then I feel drowsy and sleepy if I don't eat a
