It seems like quite a few data practitioners I talk with are miserable. Forced to deliver things ever faster, there's not enough time to THINK. Instead, the pressure is to deliver "stuff" in two-week sprints. In this episode, I rant about why not everything needs to be a sprint, and why we need to treat Deep Work versus Delivery Work differently.
