Firebreak tasks (not sprints) should be taken naturally as prioritization chooses them over other tasks.

Sadly, with higher interest rates, there is a pressure to produce results in the short-term, at the expense of long-term investments.

Higher interests or not the pressure to deliver value and growth every quarter has always been present. In tech especially as we're seen as a hypergrowth model and not growing quickly every quarter is a sign of failure to the expectations of the market™.

I've been working in this industry for 18 years, in different countries with different central banks rates and macroeconomics conditions, it's always been the exact same.
