politics, especially international geopolitics is a zero-sum game. The game of competition for limited resources and markets. Because resources are limited, the pie is fixed, and this makes it zero sum game. Although there is a way to frame

need to bake some refactoring time into regular tickets. PM should only care about features, while software devs should provide reliable estimates on the velocity of sustainable software development
