Yeah “trouble finding talent” and yet it is the tired old 2010s Google perks being offered. Cheap/free food, couches and pingpong. Offer low tech debt and good hours and get a queue form!

Low tech debt would be ideal but even allocating sprint time to addressing tech debt would be a huge step ahead of many organizations, who just accumulate it until the house comes crashing down.

Yeah, a serious commitment (without fighting) to reserve 10% capacity every sprint/planning cycle to long term vision would be gold.

Your link doesn't demonstrate that all people learn in the same way, merely tries to debunk a specific/narrow set of learning styles (that seem bizarre in the first place)

Here are a few better sources. "Learning styles" are not established science, by any means. https://career.ucsf.edu/sites/g/files/tkssra2771/f/Article%2... https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA628405045&sid=googleS... https://poorvucenter.yale.edu/LearningStylesMyth https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-myth... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-problem-with-...

I don't think you're disproving the parent commenter with these links. Again, it appears that the VARK learning styles are likely nonsense but that doesn't mean people don't have different learning preferences that work better for them.
