This is a strange post to me. You can immediately see that you value soulslike as a superior genre, yet to me I see those games are just as grindy. Die to a boss a million times to…

It’s amusing you picked this as an example because the EFT subreddit is notoriously moderated. This one works because it has overwhelming evidence. The author of this post only has…

>I don’t think they’re aware of the disservice they’re doing to their community by actively suppressing these reports (or conspiratorially, they’re influenced by Activision itself)…

Unless you work in finance.

The use of the term was supposed to be illustrative and mostly facetious, hence the quotes.

I’m really grateful we don’t work together.

There are plenty of comments that do a much better job explaining why a context switch isn’t just 30 seconds in this example. Besides if all I’m doing is taking 30 second to copy a…

And the PR doesn’t do that?

At this point you’re just strawmaning.

> and the autonomy of "rockstars" is of dubious value. I agree, but with your example, I wouldn’t call somebody committing massive amounts of tech debt a “rock star”. I used the te…

Can you explain why it’s necessary I need to write a ticket to update documentation?

You really want to add friction to completing those tasks? How long does it really take to complete any one of those things, and how is a ticket going to change the fact it probabl…

I think you made that leap, but I was responding to the specific example. I don’t think anybody is contesting the use of tickets in engineering, but I’ll certainly oppose the idea …

For updating internal documentation? I think we should be careful to ensure we’re actually adding value when we add friction, and not just hoping.

We’re still talking about updating documentation right?

Is creating the ticket really adding value to the engineering process? In your example you already have the engineer making a PR (presumably peer reviewed) and a commit, what’s the…

Great insight, my key takeaway is this: > The fewer people you need to make decisions, the faster you can make them. This is the only way I’ve seen a “rockstar” or “10x” get stuff …

That’s just a mortgage with extra steps…

I also often think of this movie. It was really quite excellent at being through provoking in interesting ways like this.

I worked at Uber and was around/in SRE for around the same time as rrix. It was truly a wild experience, good and bad, but I’m still burned out too, and it’s been almost 3 years si…

Did you reply to the wrong comment by chance?

I don't even know how to respond to you. Saying "Little defensive there, huh" constitutes "mak[ing] fun of"? I'm not sure who's actually the sensitive one here. Besides, pointing o…

Little defensive there, huh.
