This is just another flavor of the Musk-esque belief that the ratio of delivered production code to man hours is too low. Engineers should be coding, not in meetings. This is a plausible thought for anyone with 1-2 years experience, and a frightening thought from anyone else
Yes there might be some fat to cut but this approach just sounds terrible
In reality projects will go in random unwanted directions, or TBs that used to be recurring will be manually created one at a time, and things will continue just like before this decision
- emodendroket 4y agoThis is the first time I have heard the suggestion that management is going against engineers’ wishes by scheduling too few meetings.
- andirk 4y agoEngineers enjoy getting updates and then delivering those updates to someone else who, in turn, puts them in some project management application that overflows within days. Software engineers prefer to discuss things rather than doing them. That's why they send a lot of emails with a bunch of people on them and always reply-all to make sure everyone knows they exist. They also use the printer a lot, especially for putting signs around the office about how to handle basic objects like the coffee machine. At least thats what it seems like email job people think.
