Yuna<p>Agile Bible, Verse 5:</p><p>“Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”</p><p>Now tell me, when every process, idea, stakeholder, task, OKR, strategy, tool, framework, micromanagement, team structure, and team requirement comes top-down…</p><p>What exactly are you doing to ensure every individual has the environment and support to deliver their unique value and impact?<br>(Spoiler: The value and impact is not equal to your role. Shocking, I know.)</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Agile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agile</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TeamCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamCulture</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TechDebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechDebt</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Scrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scrum</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EngineeringLeadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EngineeringLeadership</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OKRs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OKRs</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DeveloperExperience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeveloperExperience</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Autonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autonomy</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TrustTheTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrustTheTeam</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Micromanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Micromanagement</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AgileFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgileFail</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WorkplaceHumor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkplaceHumor</span></a></p>
Yuna<p>🎯 How to Burn a Million Euros with a Smile<br>The Modern Art of Over-Engineering</p><p>Welcome to tech 2025:<br>5 frontend buttons.<br>10 roles.<br>47 meetings.<br>€1M/month burn rate.<br>Still no launch.</p><p>"The Product Comes First" Problem<br>Sounds noble. Humble.<br>Also turns every role into a background NPC quietly agreeing their job doesn’t matter.</p><p>Imagine telling an orchestra:<br>"Your instrument doesn't matter, the symphony does".<br>Then the clarinet rage-quits.</p><p>💀 Focus is Dead.<br>Last seen between:<br>"Can we align real quick?"<br>and<br>"Why don't you behave like I want?"</p><p>You've replaced deep work with:<br>🔔 Slack pings<br>📆 Calendar chaos<br>🧩 Agile rituals<br>🧠 1 brain cell split across 8 tools</p><p>But the Jira board? Adorable. 🎨</p><p>When Nothing Ships:<br>"Maybe we’re just not Agile enough"<br>No Karen, the framework didn’t fail.<br>You did.<br>With passion.<br>And six retros.<br>None of which helped.</p><p>💡 What If We Just… Thought?</p><p>Build a 10-person “cross-functional” team<br>→ Burn €1M/month<br>→ Everyone owns everything, so no one owns anything<br>→ Meetings breed like rabbits</p><p>Meanwhile…<br>4-person focused teams<br>~€300K/month<br>📦 Ship faster<br>🧠 Think clearer<br>⚡ Learn and grow<br>🎯 Deliver real value</p><p>Bonus: They still like each other.</p><p>Every time a tech person says:<br>"Hey, costs? Risks? Waste?"<br>Management responds:<br>"That's not your concern, code wizard".</p><p> 🧠 Radical Thought: Let People Think<br>Let engineers engineer.<br>Let thinkers think.<br>Let humans do what they were hired to do.</p><p>Wild, I know.</p><p>🦄 About Unicorns:<br>Not every engineer is:<br>DevOps + Infra + Architect + Therapist + Evangelist + Espresso Machine<br>And that's okay.</p><p>Some are introverts.<br>Some are quiet builders.<br>Some are fixing prod right now.</p><p>✅ Hire for mindset, not magic.<br>Stop gatekeeping with 1997 brain-teasers in fake conditions.<br>No AI. No docs. No team. No realism.</p><p>This is IT, not Hogwarts.</p><p>🏁 TL;DR<br>• Build small, focused teams<br>• Respect strengths<br>• Trust your people<br>• Don’t worship frameworks<br>• Let engineers engineer<br>• And stop setting fire to your budget 🔥</p><p>You know what's faster than scaling a broken system?<br>🛠️ Not breaking it in the first place.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Agile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agile</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DevEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevEx</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TeamCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeamCulture</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LessIsMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LessIsMore</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MicromanagementTheMusical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MicromanagementTheMusical</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TechLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechLife</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a></p>
