> What companies want is team players who are often fun, light and friendly, actively work to build trust with a team through socialization, promote good practices and patterns and don't begrudge the fact that a portion of their day is to be spent in meetings, reviewing others' code and generally communicating.
It seems ok for a company to seek these from their engineers. I think, I want these too. I just don't like forced standups and sync up meetings. If someone did something cool and want to pull me aside to show? I'm all in. If someone wants help on something, I'll be there..
but it's just that the way things are managed is just dull.
let's do a standup meeting for 15mins where people explain
- what they did yesterday
- what they will do today
- what are impediments
I propose an idea and the TL arbitrarily pulls off a blog post reference to shut down by saying "there's no business value".
umm. effing nonsense.
