It really is shocking how many marketing practices and how much of the sales mentality is stuck in the Glengarry Glen Ross era. Time for the lines between dev and, basically, the rest of the business to blur for good!

Never realized there were so many ways to go about creating space for deep work. I see and use the Bimodal strategy most often, but I'm interested in how Rhythmic might work. Personally that last one, Journalistic, just seems like sett

Diffuse thinking is becoming harder and harder to come by because it's so easy to stay connected 24/7! I try to spend some downtime (walking, cleaning, shopping, etc.) every day without my phone to give my brain time to slip into

Increasing developer longevity is an especially interesting point. As it turns out, developers are actually humans who appreciate variety and want to take pride in their work!

I track my time, too, and my biggest complaint is how long it takes. I think it's a great idea for companies to show why time tracking matters so it doesn't feel so futile.

I think it's really important to highlight the fact that one deployment option isn't better than the others. Instead, it's relative to what resources you have and what outcome you want.

I definitely saw this issue a lot back in the agency world. The tip I like the most is to have independent thinking sessions before (and also after) coming together to brainstorm as a group.

Realistically, probably most organizations out there really don't need to spend the time or resources building a solution when super-customizable options like this exist. Just gotta get out of that mindset.

"Maybe those who can do shouldn’t teach–or manage, as it were." Yes.

The automated data collection didn't surprise me, but somehow I hadn't thought about using bots to actually automate the analyzing, predicting, and actions that come next.

It's definitely getting important for all businesses to understand/use APIs—not just the tech-focused ones.

I like your point that it doesn’t only have to be about making money right off the bat. If you want to spend your spare time doing something you love and develop some new skills along the way that happen to end up getting you paid more, t

What I appreciate most is the advice to use incentives sparingly, to make goals reasonable, and to not just focus on how fast (and probably crappy) one can get the job done.

I'm far from being a developer, but I do work on the internet so I always appreciate productivity tips. I like Cold Turkey's UI over some of the other "distraction blockers" I've tried. Might have to add that to my

Now that the alternative workforce (freelancers, part-timers, etc.) is gaining steam, effective knowledge storage and transfer is more vital than ever. The number of hours I've watched new workers and incumbent employees spend tracking

Corporations are starting to see the benefits of "thinking smaller" and looking toward agile, innovative startups for mutually-beneficial partnerships. Wonder if aspects of the startup mentality will rub off on these big companies

Back when I worked in agencyland, capacity and time tracking were the most overlooked, underestimated factors in a project. The POs and PMs I know now would say the same. When a project goes off the rails, it can too often be traced back t

On the topic of structure, I think it's also vital in building an effective culture. Culture is important to retention; especially for those veterans with lots of valuable, day-one knowledge. Without some kind of belief structure that

The author is totally right. As a freelance writer, thinking about selling does make my skin crawl. What really helps me is the persistence outlined in step 4. I keep track of my contacts and what I've done to build relationships wit

I'm all for transparency. To me, AI feels like another avenue in which those who are truly engaged in their jobs will excel and those who aren't will get found out. In most cases, I think AI will be a rising tide that lifts all sh

Value is becoming a major differentiator between the winners and losers. It's great that Optimist goes above and beyond with kick-ass content. Seems like it's working!
