"prevent developer burnout."
...Frankly I think all the standups & the pressure from constantly asking me if I am contributing (every single day?!) instead of trusting that I am... burns me out.
I don't mind 2-3 standups per week, 15 mins max.
But 5x 30 minute standups... Is exhausting. It feels like a lack of trust from product managers.
Oh yeah... and unqualified, zero engineering experience, diversity-hire product managers. That's super annoying-- being managed by people who did not obtain their role via the route expected of an engineer (having demonstrable engineering skills)
