tl;dr: useful result? productive meeting

my meeting tier chart by takeaways

  • if I learn something, A tier. S tier if I learn something I care about. also S tier if I don't have to actively engage but like I pick up content anyways
  • if I get to shitpost irl, A or S tier. definitely S tier if other meeting-goers shitpost with me. note that you probably need to know the other attendees pretty well before you try this.
  • if I teach someone else something and they learn, B tier. gotta increase the bus ratio.
  • if I leave with a new task, C tier. B tier if it's something I'm interested in. Also B tier if the ticket is made in the meeting so I don't have to write up the ticket afterwards (but I will if I have to, I guess)
  • reporting on something that I think you should already know about, due to either your position or the availability of the information (i.e., it's something written down somewhere accessible to you and does not just live inside my head) - F tier. absolutely awful. I do my research to make things happen, so can you. you need updates on a project I'm working on? check the jira ticket that tracks the work. jira ticket even has links to the PR so you could read the diffs to see exactly what I'm working on.
