Relatively I've understood that iPhones are still more repairable than Samsungs and other Android, based on ratings from companies that rank these (can't find a link on my phone)
You didn't actually consider the fact that I might have an axe to grind towards everyone who makes the workplace political, and toxic by alienating people with minority view points?
Would you consider it possible I'm a liberal myself? And that my liberalismi is exactly the reason it's difficult for me to accept this sort of behavior?
Well, I do work for one, and yes, last time I participated in an all company call the majority of the time the management spent talking about racial equality, completely unrelated to our business?
If you want to have such a broad definition of political, then why restrict the whole fight to tech companies? Why aren't on the barricades about the fashion industry or traditional media?
Are you sure this isn't just an excuse to make things political in these west coast companies that are full of young, hot-headed, extremely left wing people?
Don't newspapers report on masks? Are they political as well? Doesn't TV? Why is all the politics revolving around these west coast tech companies?
Could it be that it's actually not that political, it's just that these companies are filled by extremely left wing west coast people who want to make it political?
What's funny is that traditional media has just as much issues with misinformation and bias, yet the whole discussion around how content related to the election might not be straight and honest revolves completely around tech companies.
For some reason it's just the west coast tech companies where information or search is political, but with traditional media it's not?
Do you have an example where in a political company both views were heard?
Typically the whole discussion around overly political workplaces revolves around west coast tech companies, which are a monoculture of liberalism. Republican views are definitely not heard or dealt with.
That's the difference. For a lot of Californian tech companies, the whole company meetings revolve less around strategy and mission and more about racial inequality and Trump. As an outsider, I can't understand how strong the bubble is and how lacking in context these people are.
I think it's more likely that no amount of good practices and process will work if people don't understand them. The process still improves things compared to doing things ad hoc.
Based on my experience sharing things in-person is much more productive. I think you're looking from a developer perspective and thinking "how can I produce as much functionality without being impeded", which is your point of view. The scrum master is likely thinking "how can we ensure the whole team has an optimal flow" and ensuring such blockers are dealt with as effectively as possible, which is more important.
Granted, most scrum masters have no idea what they're doing which likely leads to individual team members not seeing fulle value in Agile rituals, but it is there.
