That made me think, are there any IT workplace where programming is really considered a "team work", just like sport ?
I sometimes felt like this with some coworkers, when we were under extreme pressure and someone needed help to fix some mess, or to design something complex, and frankly that's some of my best memories. But apart from that, doesn't it seem that software development is such a solitary activity that it can only push forward introverted behaviors ?
Pushing forward : imagine copying professional sport behavior : software teams would have some "training sessions" in the morning, where they craft technical algorithms together, just to practice. And "games" in the afternoon, where each people would complete its tasks in a very extrovert way, shouting "i'm done here, who needs help ?" with a dynamic voice, high fiving every 20 minutes whenever some minor milesstone has been achieved. You could even imagine people programming standing up instead of sitting behind a chair, to encourage physical motion. Has anyone heard of some workplace like that ?
- yuchi 13y agoI work at SMC, Italy. This is the way we want work to be done, and that’s the goal (sport-pun intended) every one of us has every morning. There are exceptions, both solitary peers and solitary periods, but that’s what they are: exceptions. This is the #1 reason I’m not going to easily leave this company.
