I read the a16z trillion dollar paradox paper and not only do I feel dumber, but I feel like I should send them a bill for the time they took from my life.

I thought his point wasn't about deaths in Nevada, but about spreading these and new variants all over the place. Some probably with low vax rates.

Your periodic reminder: You will never finish the backlog, for various reasons. Generally no one ever got fired for working on the most important things for the business.

It depends! 🙂

One of the things I really appreciate about @mik_kersten's message is that at different times we prioritize (risk, defect, etc.) with more or less weight based on business needs.

Grooming cadence is related to cycle cadence.
