The Role of Meetings in Modern Communication
Meetings can serve different purposes, including disseminating information or fostering debates to refine ideas. However, in the modern age, relying solely on meetings for communication may hinder productivity.

Prioritizing tasks like coding and engaging with users is crucial for sustained productivity, regardless of company size.
