[Ep367] Problem Masquerade

This week, we talk about context shifts, the homework model, and vague help. It’s easy to feel like small incremental progress is worthless, but that’s an issue with perception rather than with reality. If you’re flailing around and generally overwhelmed and stuck, it’s time to take a step back and reexamine your context and your priorities. Those things can change without your noticing, and when they do, it cascades into everything else.00:00 Intro01:12 Thanks to our supporters!01:26 Siloed vs collaborative development11:13 Context shifts21:32 The deadline problem26:24 The shape of a collaboration35:53 Problem ownershipWe got into some weeds with this one, so no questions this week!
