Ephemeral
Our code might not even ship
Die before getting to production
Out of our control
Refactoring
None
The building itself
Do The Work
None
Sprint
Sprinting
Dysfunctional workplaces
Unclear job expectations
A lack of social support
Purpose and value
🤩
Joy
Curiosity
None
Our curiosity gives our work meaning
Our curiosity keeps us going
Our curiosity will change
Our curiosity keeps us afloat
Protect our curiosity
Pay attention to your body and mind
Remember your agency
Hotfix for burnout
Don’t skip the post-mortem
Introspection is our root cause analysis
Decouple yourself from the work
Work is just one part of life
Careers are bigger than jobs
