@shiftingedges@hachyderm.io I agree, I think remote is often an excuse. I think the bigger reason is most management / leadership can’t or don’t want to get involved in the “messy” work of managing groups of humans.

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io what I’ve noticed most often is that the understandable desire to plan (often, to hit a metric by a date) leads to systems where engineers feel their job is to move certain numbers of “points” to the completed column. No one is incentivized to have the conversations that allow us to delete points from the board, or improve the system in unplanned and esp in unquantifiable ways

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io @shiftingedges@hachyderm.io Dude, soooo much management doesn't want to get into the messy work of business strategy. I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if those people actually approached people management.
