📚 Article of the week: Combating Task Loneliness

Learn how one software engineering team at Atlassian overcame task loneliness by implementing something the call the Uber Stream.

Task loneliness is especially common in smaller teams when team members feel isolated and unsupported in their work. To combat this, they introduced the Uber Stream - basically restructured the team, updated communication rituals, and implemented something called a vibe check ritual.

It's a really interesting talk, especially useful if you're working in a small team and are wondering how to boost your team's morale.
