I will allow one more meeting to start a new sprint and end the previous one. Everyone should have prepared ahead of time to report on all their sprint items and whether they were completed, if not why not, and to present the work they wil

Standups should eliminate almost all other meetings engineers need to attend. Except to go deeper on questions that came up in standup that cannot be instantly resolved. Otherwise yeah there’s really no point.

Seems like a ripe opportunity for partnering with one of these companies that are already good at it?

Maybe we’ll be happier overall if we select for other things.

Are those independent?
913.
by jimbokun 7mo ago
In other words an extra four years of day care before those students have to function independently as adults.

All of those universities you mention still immerse students in the university setting round the clock, though.

This just means US universities are for networking and partying as much as they are for learning.

It’s still meritocratic in the sense of picking the people most capable of performing well in a higher academic setting. It’s unfair. But nonetheless true that students who were better able to prepare due to superior resources are nonethel

A lot of those correlate with intelligence and “grit.” Being good at selling to people absolutely requires intelligence. So do many entertainment fields, and athletic achievement more than you might expect. Investing consistently in an ind
