What if we debugged our relationship with time?
summary
The talk examines chronic time pressure in software organizations—constant fast deliveries, growing backlogs, multitasking and poorly tuned rituals—and frames this as “temporal debt” that harms quality and team wellbeing. Drawing on sociology and neuroscience, it analyzes how brains, habits, tools and organizational practices sustain this nonstop sprint and questions whether AI merely accelerates the problem; it then proposes concrete individual and collective practices to “debug” our relation to time and restore a more sustainable, clear and productive pace.
