A comment on Hacking ADHD: Strategies for the modern developer. Parent comment
- Everything destroys my flow anyway. So $#&#$% fragile.
- Standups are 100x less destructive to my flow than random unscheduled synchronous communication.
- For management and collaboration purposes, I recognize the need for some kind of synchronous communication for most projects/jobs.
- When working remotely I've found video standups help keep me feeling connected to humanity.
- Most teams I've been on are quite understanding if you choose to miss standup and offer an update via Slack instead because you're "in the zone."
So.... they suck, but they have upsides for me, and I accept them as kind of a "least-bad compromise solution."
