My take: automate it anyway Maybe it's my engineering brain, but I've always been team "work smarter not harder." 🔥

Spent some time this weekend in the Columbia River Gorge. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your work is step away from it. Clear head, better ideas. Grateful for views like this.

I'll participate in daily standups if requested for a job, but from my experience the need for them is often due to the team lacking the ability to communicate effectively and/or micro managers.🤷🏻‍♀️
