Imagine the folks building the Linux kernel or other popular, successul, and mission critical software projects sitting in meetings all day long.
I genuinely think that meetings are the only way management can justify their existance and therefore commercial projects consider them as an "important part".

- yakubin 3y ago"asynchronous meeting" is an oxymoron.
- gumballindie 3y agoI suppose if we redefine words everything is everything.

- gumballindie 3y agoI did. And held few and to the point meetings. I could see how non technical managers were struggling, and that’s how i know that some are simply clueless and serve no purpose within orgs. I managed a somewhat small number of devs - roughly 40, some distributed.
