Use Your Agency!
It really does feel like this gif sometimes, doesn’t it? Seriously though, look around at the folks that you are working with. Realize that, at the best of times, you’re spending about half of your waking life with them. Are these the folks that you want to spend this much time with? Is this what you want to be doing for half of your waking life? Yes, I know, most of us in the world don’t have agency. But, if you do have agency, do something about it! Evict those #CowboyDevelopers from your organization. Get the malcontents to stop malcontenting. Make change happen — you have agency!
