High-performing teams stay in touch frequently, making 10 phone calls to teammates per day on average, compared to 6 phone calls for other teams, according to a new report by Front. I just talk to myself

Errrmmm... and when do they work? I thought performing was related to get things done

I like to Team myself from my phone to my computer.
If my team called each other 10 times a day, we would have a munity on our hands.

...at 30m of lost context per interruption that's 5 hours + the time spent on the calls themselves gone each day...
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What metric are they using to use the term "High-performing"? The way the article reads is that they are spending more time goofing off than actually getting any work done.

In my experience, high-performing developers receive many more phone calls than they make. I would estimate that I average 7 or 8 phone calls a day from team members compared to around 1 or 2 (being generous) outgoing calls.
Incoming calls or texts are usually accompanied by the exclamation 'What now?!!' 
Don't even get me started on how many non-work phone calls I answer ever day from needy or bored family/in-laws...there's also the daily robo-calls from the auto warranty or IRS scammers.

We simply have an 8-hour zoom call, and anyone on the team that wants to can join. Problem solved.

Surely this is key to how they stay relatively high-performing: They make the calls to other people to disrupt the others' productivity. Knowing that you're going to make the calls can be factored in to one's own productivity and need not be a distraction. In other words, calling other people isn't a sign of good communication; it's a sign of disruptive activity and what amounts to sabotage.

If you get your testers involved early enough, they can be the primary tool for ensuring that your users get what they want. Someone else to blame?

I thought the users were the new testers... (or even the actual product)

Or why software we get today is not the software we should strive to be getting tomorrow. Don't you click my buttons, or I'll click yours!

A lot of this is due to the complexity of modern software and the economic constraints on it too.
|

The biggest complexity is to keep things simple, and that is not a problem of complexity itself.
A thing can do incredible complicated things in the background and still have a neat, simple and easy way to be used (not only speaking about the GUI)

I was apart of that program. I worked in the lab at Boeing during the design phase and them moved to the Life Sciences testing Center where we developed the life support systems and tested the Russian systems as well. I actually got to test the welds on the first module. Our LIMS system was in Windows 3.1. 
Those were good times.

Unless you like shipping buggy or vulnerable code, keep your hands on the wheel Just dumping random code into your app could have bad consequences? Tell me more

At the same time, copying and pasting code examples from Stack Overflow looks significantly less risky than asking Copilot for guidance. In a 2019 paper [PDF], "An Empirical Study of C++ Vulnerabilities in Crowd-Sourced Code Examples," analysis of 72,483 C++ code snippets reused in at least one GitHub project found only 99 vulnerable examples representing 31 different types of vulnerabilities.
40% vs 0.14%

And that's compared against C++, where I'd expect to see more bad practices sticking around in sample code.
