The Seven Deadly Sins of “Go Faster” Things that will make your dev team take longer to deliver worse software:1. Adding more people to the team2. Making them work longer hours3. Cutting down on work that “slows them down”…

The most common things engineering leaders think will make dev teams go faster actually have the opposite effect.

"Ah, but Jason, we couldn't abstract our application's infrastructure because..."

"Because we riddled the code with direct references to it."

Thank you.

I played the Game of the Year edition ages ago and ended up needing a guide (long since vanished). Themes of alternative truth, corporate greed, technocracy and over-arching technology, even AI (!) struck a chords with me of late, so I went on a revisit (and it's a great game to play anyway).
