Wait, a timer? Isn't that a bit harsh for discussions?

B seems a bit extreme, shouldn't we handle it within the team?

Coaching the Developers to own the solution sounds great, but I’m a bit hesitant. What if they don’t feel empowered enough to address the issue themselves?

Passing a token around seems like a fun idea, but I’m not sure if it would actually work in practice. It might just create more confusion.

I think using a timer could help, but I wonder if it might feel too rigid for the team. I feel like we practiced something similar in our last mock exam.

I remember we discussed the importance of keeping the Daily Scrum focused. Suggesting to take the person aside sounds like a good approach, but I'm not sure if it would really change their behavior.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure what "cloud combing time" refers to, so I'll have to think that one through. The network delay and terminal processing seem like the most likely culprits, but I'll need to weigh the options carefully.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The most common method is the ghost employee payment, where someone adds a fake employee to the payroll and collects their paychecks. I'll go with B.

I vaguely remember something about ACK and its limitations with GPU resources. Isn't it designed for specific workloads?

What, no options for duct taping the team member's mouth shut? That would solve the problem real quick!

Escalating to the Line Manager? That's a bit heavy-handed. Let's try some team-based solutions first before bringing in the big guns.
