In today's podcast, Edith and Paul discuss productivity and personal discipline in software development. They talk about how some people are starters while others are finishers, and how a combination of both can lead to more productive teams. They also touch on the concept of 10x developers and how their productivity can sometimes be destructive if not managed properly. The conversation then shifts towards the importance of having a clear vision and roadmap for projects, even in open-source environments where code contributions are often valued over strategic direction.
