It was a pleasant surprise to see that my company keeps recording quarterly status meetings, usually held by the CEO and the management. These are not some bells and whistles, high-level presentations, but an overview of:

- competition

- finances

- profit

- future roadmap

At the beginning of my career, I had a completely different worldview, and I wanted to know as few details about the business itself as possible and just write code.

That's indeed very impressive! Kudos to the leadership team :)

I think that you are not unique - many developers, especially in the beginning of their career don't care much about that. But still, it'll benefit a lot those who do.

This only occurred to me once I started freelancing. Before that I thought coding = business :) the leadership team is indeed 5 🌟but I've been here for two months so 😃

Great insights. Totally agree on the fact that uncertainty creates more stress than failure itself.

Also, how oversharing sometimes can be more chaotic as well

Oversharing might cause problems, but in my opinion people use that as an excuse too often. I would say that in 90% of the cases it's better to share more.
