From the first coffee to the last commit, with several breaks for scratching.

In shortMorning / Midday / Afternoon / Evening.

1. Morning

Sunrise, coffee, and the stand-up where the rooster gives the day's forecast. Then deep work until noon.

2. Midday

Lunch in the old bakery. Occasionally, a bread tasting. We take it very seriously.

3. Afternoon

Reviews, pairing, and meetings that are kept short. The best ideas happen between them.

4. Evening

Close the laptop. We mean it. Weekend on-call is shared, and nobody gets more than their fair share of crowing.
