Revisiting the problems isn't necessary to get the dopamine hit for figuring out a solution, in my opinion, and as for feedback it depends on the company culture.
- jameshart 4y agoHonestly it’s not a bad framework to strive for in a workplace. Introduce the ‘zachtronics test’ as a modern version of the old Joel test. Give your workplace one point for each of the following: 1) you create acceptance tests for features before coding them 2) you have metrics that provide immediate feedback on how a feature performs 3) you have a system for determining the technical challenge level of each feature 4) you allow developers to tackle problems at the level of technical challenge they are comfortable with, so they can develop mastery before moving on to more tricky problems 5) you let people play card games between projects 6) your workplace has a striking and coherent aesthetic, complementary soundtrack and a compelling storyline … maybe not the last one.
