How much can you get done in 2 hours for the zany schemes?

Do you use any software methodologies?

it’s not solidly time boxed, sometimes it might be a whole day, if something is yielding positive results, everybody here is very senior so we all have a good intuition for which rabbit holes will yield

Software methodologies for the zany schemes? Not really, I prefer to do exploratory code inside the debugger (I wrote my own which has a bunch of extra extensions) and the others use Jupyter to riff freely, there’s no constraints when exploring

More engineering rigour goes into prod stuff
