Mini-retro

  • (Erik) We can do a bit better on PR coordination (identifying reviewers, finishing other people's PR, not letting CI flakes block us); will try to help where I can
  • (Erik) CI is reaaaally brittle still, and we need to continue to focus on it - this could get worse, not better with functests in place (more flakiness) (add pytest and flake module?)
  • (Conor) Backporting PRs requires more communication, we've lost a few days on review due to slow backports
  • (Conor) Excellent coordination on hardware testing surrounding kernels
  • (Allie) should hardware setup be part of sprint planning? should we record how long certain tasks take and try to get better about estimating them for onboarders?
  • (nina) how can we learn from teammates difficulty in hardware setup, to improve our documentation and process for customers? :D +1 on this - it's good to capture any problems as issues so we don't lose track of them
  • (nina) to the +1; how to capture "Service Design" issues between setup-realities and documentation? -> Potential action: "setup issues" label in GH (done)

What we said we'd do:

  • Fix critical client regressions and increase test coverage
  • Continue applying client visual design
  • Break up TBB branch into individual PRs and land in develop
