Developer Tea

Constant State of Alert

Listen Later

Today we talk about avoiding a state of constant yellow alert.

Signs you may be in a constant state of alert:

  1. Audit your texts, emails, etc for constant "urgent" language. How often are you on alert?
  2. Check your diet, relationships, etc - is your work putting these things in a stressed state?
  3. If you feel like you must always be connected to some kind of messaging system (email, Slack, texts, etc), this may point to a problem

    4. Mentioned on the show:

    • @MartinFowler's tweet
    • "Living in a Code Yellow World"
    • "Estimating Sandwiches" episode of Developer Tea
