Makes sense. I just see them grouped a lot as if they are a "required dependency" for lack of a better phrase. Thanks

Yay progress!

Really though, they seem quite bright. But I like seeing younger people excelling like this because it means the tutorials, wikis, blogs, etc. that their "forefathers" wrote are doing "good" in the world.

Not disagreeing (though not a fan of Scrum or Kanban), but can you elaborate why TDD is part of the "agile toolset"?

I've seen this claim multiple times and it's never made sense to me. I do TDD on side projects where there's not even a hint of "agile."

A previous company I was at worked this way and it was a dream. That said, it does require very selective screening processes and maturity from those you do hire.

However, it was the most happy / least stressed I've ever been in my life. I still get beers almost weekly with over half that team. This "strategy" really built comradery because we were always talking and discussing rather than leaving comments on some Jira ticket (which we did for async or when necessary).

Seriously.... give it a shot if you can

Thank you for being the kind of owner I want.

I recently quit a job because I was the only one on the team "capable" (or that felt confident/comfortable) saying "No."

As a "devops" (loosely defined on our team) I felt my focus was uptime and error rates which sometimes is counter to new features (what managers want)...
