Yesterday, I had a chat with Anemari Fiser, a fantastic technical leader worth following for insightful engineering thoughts. Seriously, if you're not already following her, you should. During our conversation, we delved into my uncertainty about my LinkedIn direction—it's more of a passionate hobby for me, something I do outside of work. We touched on how turning something into a job can sometimes diminish the enjoyment. It struck me how fortunate I am to love my job and what I do. Every day, I get to indulge my passion, constantly learning and growing without dreading the workweek. I never get to Mondays hating the thought of starting work. In short, life's too brief to invest in things devoid of passion. Discover what you love and keep intertwining it with what you do. #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #developerlife

The third session of Insurjo '24 organized by The Product Folks was a mind opening session elegantly showing how creative thinking can be effectively applied to understand the user and accordingly optimize a product to address the user's needs. The interactive problem solving workshop conducted by Anshumani Ruddra taking up real world problem statements facing Disney+ Hotstar and Practo, and sharing his experience made for an enriching learning experience for us. #InsurjowithTPF #productmanagement #customerpersona #userengagement Here are my key learnings from the session:

It's amazing how we are introduced to this wonderful thing so early in life, but we still don't understand what it is trying to tell us. Who hasn't played on a see-saw during their childhood? In a way, it's really a metaphor for what our life is all about. If only we were able to understand that and come to terms with it, just going through life would be so much easier. Watch this brief clip to hear what I think about the humble see-saw. Do you agree?

Besides retrospectives which should be a part of process, providing safe and comfortable environment, I'd add a 10-15 mins event before dev stand ups called 'ice breaking questions' or even 'weird questions'. Ask the team what tree each of them would like to be or what's better - spend a weekend with pirates or ninjas. Build informal connection amd communication and see changes in team athmosphere.
