Funny read. The author has a black belt in snark:> “They hired some incredibly talented people to make this happen, and then like five times as many idiots.”
> “I'm a substantially less experienced engineer than many of the readers here, but suffice it to say that I can read documentation without panicking, which is considered S-tier in this country.”
> “I ping a chat full of good engineers and no managers to make sure I'm not about to nuke everything, then just do it.”
> “My team has spun this as a huge cost saving, when really we just applied a fire extinguisher to the pile of money that we had set alight.”
> “The subtext is that if we do this all slowly enough, it might seem like it took a lot of effort instead of just clicking buttons that I said had to be clicked almost a year ago.”
