Limiting the amount of work in progress is, in my opinion, the single reason to focus on Kanban.

Of course, most tools get this wrong, so it's not surprising that it's missing here.

_incorrect_ stereotypes?

Stereotyping isn't inherently bad, it's just lazy. That having been said, I think Sneakers gets them all correct.

I've applied to Temporal several times. I would be a good fit, but I have yet to even get a recruiter screening. What does one have to do to get a fair shake?
