Learned helplessness can quietly take over software teams: no initiative, growing tech debt, etc. I wrote about the symptoms, how it's taught (often unintentionally), and how to break the cycle.

        If doesn’t believe neurospicy folks can strengthen a team, they’re simply wrong. Maybe they’ll learn.

        But if a supposed expert doesn’t grok this, such remarkably deep failure of understanding indicates ignorance AND profound obstinacy.

          Ever noticed how projects stall… even when everyone’s “busy”? 🤔
          That’s invisible work — the silent velocity killer.
          Teams wait → pick up new tasks → nothing completes.

          The cure?
          ✅ Focus on finishing before starting.
          ✅ Normalize slack time.

          This is just one insight from my Velocity Refactoring Playbook.

              If stakeholders have to wait many months to benefit at all from your project, you have much more to learn about .

              If influential developers of the highest caliber keep not meeting your expectations, you have much more to learn about .

                Good morning, happy Monday.

                Last week I found a small note by a hotel mirror. Simple words, but they stuck with me.

                In engineering leadership, the smallest reminders often shape the biggest outcomes.

                What reminders guide your week?
