Some meetings can be cut in half just by being active and driving the meeting. Usually this should be the organizer of the meeting, but sometimes it's necessary to step in and get the conversation moving
Great thoughts Basma. Particularly liked, 'Understanding that the phrase "It's not my problem" can be detrimental in software engineering.' Agree! It's everyone's problem (usually) at least in the context of delivering a great product to a happy customer. I think we all benefit when everyone comes to the table with curiosity and intent to make things better (and participate). The environment and the team has to support that attitude.
I also would underscore "Active engagement in meetings is crucial for personal growth and knowledge enhancement." If you show up, be active. You'll see the benefits, when others see you as an active contributor. 👍
I totally agree, contributing in meetings is a fast-track ticket to build your credibility in the team, and grow faster by learning your knowledge gaps.

Exactly 💯
When you engage in meetings you cut the agony of feeling like time doesn't pass. And, actually making good use of your time.
