I agree to this oppinion. But I furthermore want to add: It's not just about unsubscribing or ignoring the noise. In fact, unsubscribing or ignoring means to break with the premise sold, to begin with. If it is true, that one must learn this or that to stay employed, he can not just "unsubscribe" from it.

Additionally the notion of productivity in our industry is problematic. While working with machines, somehow we developed their standard of productivity as our ideal. May it be the pressure of competition for companies and employees alike, but the current notion is not sustainable. Exaggerated, but what I think: Turn away from two week sprints and work in a quaterly waterfall. Give developers a break, a constant plan and environment.
