Do you involve stakeholders/business partners in sprint planning?
Business as usual with usual deadlines or no-one is working at all? Are usual meetings like sprint planning still happening?
What’s going on guys? Are you coming together or what? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/business/sprint-tmobile-merger.html
As a TikTok employee I can say: 1. The WLB is pretty good, it follows the standard sprint planning and doing the bi monthly release. It's pretty normal. 2. It pays well, if not no one will join. 3. It has promising future, look at the all star investors like Sequoia. TikTok business is super promisi...Read more

Our SM only clicks on the start new sprint, close sprint buttons and just puts a lot of pressure on 5he devs to deliver something with in the same sprint. Other than that they don't do much. Our PO is next level, he doesn't know the business logic of the product from business perspective. Anytime we...Read more
Recent Microsoft moves seem to be highlighting that Business acument trumps engineering culture (salary, free food, etc). Same with Elon’s management style as well. When you have a monopoly, keeping the ball rolling with culture is the way, but sprinting and disruption is what makes true growth. ...Read more
I was a software developer and now I am a technical lead. There is one guy in my team who seems smart and pushes stories from sprint to sprint, and never reaches out to anyone for help. I have to ping him multiple times to know what’s going on, and when I ask him he says it’s all going fine. I’m new...Read more
My company has unlimited PTOs and looks like my team lead is misusing it by either being sick, medical appointments, sick kid or being on a vacation almost 2-3 days every week. This has been happening since 2-3 months. In the rare event of him coming to meetings, he is not updated on what’s going o...Read more

Do they write the frameworks like react, or do they just use it for business logic? Do they come up with ux designs? Is there a focus on scalability or performance? How does one become a frontend engineer when most of the pipelines feed people into generic engineering at e3? Can you describe a ty...Read more

After a few years in this business, I have to admit that although I love programming, I want to stay as far away from business side as possible, as long as I can still code. Yes I know it's the business side that feds us and gives me the job. I know staying too far from business will endanger emplo...Read more
I joined this team exactly 6 months ago. I’m not a poor performer (i.e, I finish tasks by the end of the sprint, take on new tasks). But I always struggle to put points forward in a team meeting. Having a hard time understanding the business. How can I improve in this area? Today we had a team mee...Read more
Why don’t we see more technology coops. Where the employees own the majority of the business. My thesis is, this type of business structure would outperform the current VC/Investor backed model. Especially in middle market/sme software. Where big companies don’t actually improve their product. Grea...Read more
We have this product manager who is essentially a mouthpiece for business. He doesn’t create stories. He doesn’t gather any requirements. He doesn’t really understand how the product works. The team is fine doing all these things themselves. But what’s irritating is that he appears once in a while ...Read more
