Feld says the scheduled dinner lets him defer reacting to an annoyance in the moment and resolve it later without a blowup.
“In the moment, I didn't have to react and cause us to have a three-hour personal meltdown on the 21st of the month”

Feld describes the life dinner as a monthly retrospective and planning session modeled on agile software development, distinct from a date night.
“we essentially do the first half is a retrospective of the previous month. And the second half is sprint planning for the next month. So again, very deliberately, not a date night”
