Young people not having sex - Japan

Have been reflecting on this issue recently.

The modern society base everything on career success, wealth, prosperity, self esteem, ego-centrism. We live in capitalism. It is obvious for many people that children are big responsibility and effort mentally, monetary and physically.

Therefore it is apparent that when you have a baby it's extremely hard in contemporary state of society to raise it properly without diminution of pleasures or even opportunities to enjoy your own life as you want it. Not even slightest idea of any dependents.

Sex is integral part of intimate relationship between healthy people. So it's a delight seeing many young Japanese people who have a very logical thinking and therefore don't start any relationship, because it is very rational decision for the reasons I provided above.

There is an awesome movie Paris, je t'aime. One of the stories from that movie is when someone called Ana leaves her child at daycare to go and babysit some rich lady's child. The scene is very sentimental and not easy to watch, but it is true. It's our reality. We leave our children to work and to earn money, because that's the only way we can survive in the current set up.

In addition to those issues nothing is being done conceptually to improve the situation. There is no stimulus to move from "the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom".
As far as freedom equals to more money on bank accounts there is no surprises that many young Japanese prefer staying without proper relationships and sex.

Scrum - Team Culture and Wall Manifesto

In the Scrum framework one of the key components is the wall and daily stand-up. In some organisations I worked with the whole concept of the wall is not accepted by many developers, because of the stand-up necessity and "time waste". Very often all that methodology is used for the sake of methodology and not to achieve what we actually do - adding or creating value to our customer (usually called "The Business"). I can understand frustration that is caused by the wall and stand-up process. From the software developer perspective it is really a waste of time for the following reasons: 1. In 95% of cases developers are head down working like hell delivering valuable outcomes that they are accountable for. Extra effort to go to the wall, staying there for 15-30 minutes and listening or not listening to what others were doing yesterday and will be doing tomorrow is annoying for them; 2. The mere fact of having to do something mandatory to do that looks like...

Mastering The Multitasking

There is usually two distinct perspectives on multi-tasking: 1. Multitasking is counterproductive. We get distracted by multiple tasks that all get our way and fight for our scarce attention, time and resources. This leads to a common fallacy that if you do multiple activities “at a time” you are not doing good work in any of those. 2. Multitasking is a way of getting many things done in a short period of time or in a long run. Indeed it can be either a disaster or a great helper depending on how it is used and practiced. Most recent research shows that we don’t do multiple tasks purely in parallel or simultaneously. That means we don’t purely multi-task, but switch between tasks and execute them one at a time, but by spending very small timeframes on each task. A good example from the history is a story about Julius Caesar capabilities in that area. Plutarch writes, “Caesar disciplined himself so far as to be able to dictate letters from on horseback, and to give directi...
