Your thinking is not flawed. It's just not decentralized.

Decentralized cryptocurrency is an ideal from early 2008's from the Bitcoin supporters. It's not the reality of cryptocurrency in general.

Cryptocurrencies are full of contraditory ideas between the founding ideology and the actual usage.

Seconding this request... Our team is going through AI adoption without a clear direction and we're getting to the point we need to sit and come up with some guidelines. It would be awesome to have some human-made examples as inspiration

It's the lottery, you can only win if you play

The entirety of that compilation of words is worth a read. I recommend checking out "Artificial Intelligence", "Consume", "Consumer" and "Monetize", "Players" and "Product"

Yes, it's literally that. Some are made with just one sheet of paper smartly folded into 8 pages. you can find them in random art stands in small alternative markets. Sometimes music shop, art shops and small independent book publishers.

The blog post mentions too many meetings. Its the 15m daily everyday, then a retro and a planning once per sprint. I understand it is too much for a one-week sprint (as stated in the post) but how is that too much otherwise? Seems exaggerated to have a four week sprint because of those two moments. In fact, I would argue that having longer sprints means longer meetings (if you're having a productive retro you'll have a lot more to talk about during four weeks than two)

And how is having meetings a negative thing for remote work? Remote shouldn't mean "no interaction". Remote should adapt for collaboration.

Why is it being watertight important to you? What benefit will it remove from your experience?

I like to say I'm a "Developer", or "Software Developer", and then I can describe further what I do as "creating things" for people to use. I agree 100% with you that programming is art and a vehicle for so much creativity and liberty (think net.art, code poetry, the hundred different ways to make the same function), but even then I feel that programming is just a part of the creation process. So I tend to prefer Developer
