Everything is Awesome
summary
A clear claim: measurable culture fixes beat feel‑good slogans. Cites history (Grace Hopper and six wartime programmers) and a startling survey result: only 35% feel able to contribute in meetings. Concrete proposals include an onboarding buddy, explicit meeting rules (video, chat cue, no interrupting) and operational habits—mute notifications, send meeting summaries, use people‑first language—with examples of how each change is implemented and what it actually improves.
