<p>I&#8217;m focusing my career on the belief that tech work is *really* messed up and that it doesn&#8217;t have to be. If a team I coach gets more productive but doesn&#8217;t get happier, I haven&#8217;t done my job. The big win with agile/lean/TOC is that they align work with how humans actually function: limited attention span, need for community, continuous learning and limited ability to predict the future, need for frequent positive reinforncement.</p>
