@mweagle the ways that feeling productive interacts with solving problems can be very subtle and difficult to understand IME

@mweagle this sentence: “However, that individuals feel more productive with AI while also doing less valuable work while the system has less throughput feels quite contradictory.”

@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 I’ve been struggling for a while to engage in deep collaboration on software teams. There have been periods where it came together, but few and far between. Some people like to blame it on remote work, but IME that’s not the primary factor.
