The Seven Deadly Sins of β€œGo Faster” Things that will make your dev team take longer to deliver worse software:1. Adding more people to the team2. Making them work longer hours3. Cutting down on work that β€œslows them down”…

The most common things engineering leaders think will make dev teams go faster actually have the opposite effect.

I played the Game of the Year edition ages ago and ended up needing a guide (long since vanished). Themes of alternative truth, corporate greed, technocracy and over-arching technology, even AI (!) struck a chords with me of late, so I went on a revisit (and it's a great game to play anyway).
