Rebuilding Together
summary
Applies DevOps principles at home: institutes one-week family sprints (Sunday planning and retros), reallocates household tasks, educates an eldest child remotely for a year, and undergoes eight weeks of intensive outpatient therapy after severe burnout. Recommends concrete workplace actions: extend grace instead of reprimand, offer pair programming or mentoring, proactively swap or assist with outstanding story points, and check in on both the visibly struggling and the smiling coworkers. Remote flexibility and these practices materially sustain teams under heavy personal strain.
