Works for a small company. If everyone in a large company is allowed the same leeway nothing could ever ship
Oh for sure. I’ve been lucky enough that I’ve only ever worked for places with at most a few hundred employees, so my experiences of larger companies have been at best second-hand — but it was enough to know that I’d never want to work somewhere like that.
This is something I really love about my job. It’s a small company, and we don’t have any of these kinds of process overheads.
It’s accepted that people fuck up (and in most cases that’re relevant to me, I’m the people in question) but if I can reproduce the problem, I can often get the fix in the users’ hands the next day. Generally the positive effects of a quick turnaround and feeling like they matter outweigh the negatives of the problem being there in the first place.
Not to say I don’t have stuff in the “tech debt” bucket, but having the autonomy to just fix the low-hanging fruit makes for a satisfying work environment.

It’s almost like the entire thing is performative bullshit
Is there a “go woke, go broke” but for nazis?
First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out “American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!”.
I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I’ll never set foot in the US again.
Why would you do it at noon? It should be midnight.
Edit: duh, I realise now it’s a shitty LPT.
