Re: getting your team more interested in testing. This is not an easy thing to get momentum on if people aren't used to it. Yes to getting the test time down (and keeping it down) Also, try defining (maybe in collaboration with the tea

I think it is reasonable to question what people mean by "can't discuss". As mentioned in the article people can discuss anything, but certain things are met with some pushback which makes discussing them hard or unpleasant.

Thanks for the big write up, very insightful. I actually own my own business so focusing on things during work time isn't too hard (Always too much to do regardless of the hours I work). The need for some social contact is an interesti

Thanks, this is interesting. I am considering a similar 'until the kids are at school' approach. We will see how I want to spend my time when we get to that bridge, back fulltime, or maybe more time on hobbies?

If you haven't done so already (and are male) you might try growing a beard? I've seen a few 'young' team leads go that route and it is surprisingly effective.

This is an interesting idea, maybe I should have a mini-retirement through to when my kids start school? I had thought of a similar approach from the other side. Ie arranging my work as one off missions (ie raise activation rates 2x) and th

I found a bit of this recently when I went 1/2 time on my business after the arrival of my 2nd child. Only having 2-3 days a week meant having a clear plan on what needed to be achieved and made me more realistic about not taking too m

Thanks for this, I like the idea of looking at it as a break after 20 years fulltime. It is a nice way to think about it. Maybe any move to part time isn't a plan to be part time forever, just that it is the right thing right now. Ther

That sounds like a lovely way to spend your time! And also one which seems safe for some time to come which is good, ie you aren't risking your future earning potential with this approach. Congratulations!

I find if I am procrastinating in situations like that it is often that I don't actually know what the next step is. YMMV but that may be worth thinking about :)

Similar story here for most of the last year. Previously I've had a long (walking) commute to work, enjoyed swimming, running and/or mountain biking. I tried HIIT briefly last year but couldn't find a way to reliably include

Thanks :) Luckily when I started out the plugins-for-trello space was very uncluttered. It was mostly abandonware and github projects created by developers over a weekend. So since Corrello is exclusively aimed at Trello teams and was one o

Why not have a go here, I'd be interested to hear your rationale. On a less important note, re the argument being at a level of "how could you vote for someone who said that". That may not be people refusing to engage with wh

I suppose you could look at the quality of the application (without any guidelines being set) as part of how you'd like to select companies/founders? So those who are capable communicators and can clearly explain what their busine

I think most successful agile teams would adopt those non-functional requirements not as tasks to be implemented but as cross-cutting concerns of all work. Ie, on a Scrum team they could be part of the Definition of Done, ie "Is the co

I'm interested to know how you identify the trello cards in the commit message? Are you using your own codes to identify them? I'm thinking of building something similar myself.
