At first glance, a baby’s daily routine and a developer's cycle time might seem worlds apart—but both rely on structure, predictability, and minimizing bottlenecks. Just as missed naps or delayed feeding can create cascading chaos in a baby’s day, blockers and inefficiencies in the development cycle can derail an entire sprint. In this talk, we’ll draw surprising parallels between optimizing a baby’s daily schedule and streamlining developer workflows. From identifying patterns and dependencies to managing context-switching and recovery time, you’ll discover actionable insights that can improve both your team's efficiency and your home life. Whether you're a parent, a tech leader, or both, this session will leave you with fresh perspectives on managing cycles—be they naptime or deployment pipelines.
