We desperately need to start a Slow Software movement. High quality, intentionally designed, low defect software done at a quarter of the pace for the same price. Because we've been destroying the mental health of developers for the last quarter century, and what do we have to show for it but a giant mess?
@uncanny_kate Of course, software, like other knowledge work, always comes at its own pace. To quote Tim Lister, "People under time pressure don't think faster."
Of course, corporations depend upon having enough idiots willing to work unpaid overtime, so if you get to push a product out the door before burnout sets in, then you can claim to be fast. Burnout always sets in which is why "sprint" is such a stupid term for continuous development.
