Blinkz0rz posted:it's sincerely surprising to me that folks itt think that anything can be built, released, marketed, and sold without being involved in meetings The big meetings devolve into vision bullshit and circular conjecturing and speculation, especially as more management and director types are pulled in. May just be that every org I’ve been in has been dysfunctional but big meetings have seemed to serve more as pageantry and signaling ones importance rather than for decision making and deep work necessary to make complex things. For my projects to succeed, I need to organize the pieces I’m responsible for more directly with the people that matter and most of that has been through long form living doc collaboration and a series of separate 1:1s with people that get into the weeds. Bigger meetings near kick-off and release/increments can give the less useful types a feeling of skin in the game and good will towards the project but that’s as much as needed, more involvement beyond that yields diminishing returns and usually becomes actively harmful to the success of a hard thing being accomplished. I’ll eat the status meetings between the two and make sure engineers on my projects are protected and have open calendars that are clear. And if a meeting doesn’t have a clear agenda with a decision that needs to be made, I unilaterally cancel it or remove as many people from it as I can biceps crimes fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Oct 28, 2021 |

ultrafilter posted:Some meetings are necessary, but they don't have to be as plentiful or as badly run as most meetings are. This is extremely true and ultimately this gay_crimes posted:And if a meeting doesn’t have a clear agenda with a decision that needs to be made, I unilaterally cancel it or remove as many people from it as I can Is the right approach to dealing with it. If you don't have ownership of the meeting, you should feel empowered to decline something if the invite list is too large and there's no clear direction.

I don't mind meetings if what's being discussed is relevant to everyone in the meeting. If you have an hour long meeting where 15 minutes are relevant to one group of people, 15 minutes are relevant to another group of people, 15 minutes are relevant to another group of people, and 15 minutes are relevant to another group of people, oops, that's actually four different meetings and should be scheduled as such.

we have a weekly status meeting with government customers but there was a tendency for a few of us to get offtrack with long technical discussions with the government architecture guys, so we set up a separate design meeting with just the few of us to chat about technical stuff as needed. over time all of the original people except me left while all the other people from the status meeting all started coming for some reason. none of these other people either understand the platform well enough or care to get into any sort of technical discussion. so now we just have a meeting where every week a dozen people dial in to verify that there is nothing on the agenda except maybe asking for updates on items from the status meeting two days ago. i have not spoken a single word in this meeting in probably six months. none of the people running or participating in this meeting were here when it was started so none of them even know why it exists. we're just gonna keep doing it until the end of time for no reason other than there being a recurring item on the calendar

It's just that you also need a couple of folk who are interested in what you're doing and why you're doing it as well. Otherwise you just crank out what product want and product are dipshits.

I think there's a whole other type of person that tries to get into as many meetings as they can because they either don't want to do their actual work, or they don't have any actual work.

In a healthy team, improving the quality of some meetings makes other meetings unnecessary and therefore subject to elimination.

What's a good, collaborative, web-based JS editor? Just something simple I can use to help coach a friend through data structures/algos. I'd like it to be able to actually run the code so we can do some asserts and such as well. I've been using Codeshare, which is good, except it can't actually run code.

It's not necessarily web-based, but VS Code can use Live Share. You could also run VS Code inside GitPod and share the workspace. I think GitPod requires a GitHub or GitLab repo based on a quickstart template so it would be pretty easy to setup. I'm pretty impressed with GitPod.
