I wasn't involved in the process at all but I saw the creation of this video. I just want to say that I was mind-blown how much work these KRAZAM puts into their videos. Just the mural on the whiteboard took them multiple hours - and, that's for a few seconds of the video. Unbelievable how much love is put into something. And, it sounds weird but really touching to see creatives do something that they truly love.

I loved the Tree of Life reference, I want something like that printed out and put it next to my highly effective pyramid of success.

Surely you mean the Conjoined Triangles of Success?

this signal the death of the passive aggressive "take this offline" for me also favorite comment "This video captures the absolute weirdness of millennials and zoomers inheriting the bureaucratic systems created by baby boomers"

I find it weird how so much generation discussion seems to skip gen x. I see references to boomer, millennial, and zoomer/gen z way way more often than gen x.

We are the "meh" generation -- I'm happy we're overlooked.

Mine is "leadership sync": https://youtu.be/1RAMRukKqQg?si=K02Vsl7UhiUHos06 If you ever worked in a dysfunctional org this video speaks volumes.

These are all great, and for me it's even weird to pick a favorite because somehow he's managed to put so much genius into all of those videos and in so many multifaceted ways, it's beyond me. What kind of job/career experience has he had to come up with all of that, so creatively and accurately? I just don't get how he can have had all this experience and at the same time be able to come up with those creative video…

One of them has been at Amazon for a while.

Seems like an accurate set of experiences of a 10-20 years long career.

You can kinda implement the 'strangler pattern' for this kind of ticket toil. The tool scrapes the ticket queue, tries to do what it can, either it is successful and closes out the ticket or updates it with a new state of what it was able to achieve (if anything) and hands it back to the humans. You can start with only the most basic tickets and then slowly start to expand its scope and capabilities to handle more pa…

This is probably the smartest way to automate things. Replace the manual process bit by bit, leaving humans to deal with the trickier or less expected parts.

This is the absolute funniest few seconds though, the mural combined with the way it was shot and the classic BWOOOOOOMP soundtrack in the background actually had me crying laughing. it’s so good

I've enjoyed Krazam's other videos, but at the risk of having the joke explained (and thus spoiled), what exactly is this lampooning? Not asking from a critical place, I legitimately am curious about dysfunctional business processes at other companies and want to know if people really are drowning in SaaS access requests

If you've ever worked in an org that has to be SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) compliant, then you are familiar with a bunch of what's happening in this video. So much of your data, infra, and internal tools have to be gated by authorization and access logging tools -- so employees are constantly requesting access to the tools they need to get their work done.

These requests can be granted manually or automatically but they need to be logged and stored. Sometimes requests are required for every single access of a tool and sometimes it's time period based (24 hour access to Redshift or whatever) -- usually this depends on your role in an org. There isn't a coherent out-of-the-box way to provide the authorization and access gateways across all the different tools a business relies on -- so there is a big business opportunity for companies to basically provide turnkey identity and access management tools for companies.

Or, occasionally, an engineer loses their mind with the inefficiencies of these systems and processes and goes off on a jag to create the perfect internal tool to solve all these problems. That rarely (if ever) works, hence the video.

“Need Salesfroce access ASAP for client meeting” “Coffee machine in back kitchen wont connect to internet” (On an unrelated note, TIL that you can highlight text to copy/translate etc directly from a YouTube video on an iPhone. I knew you could do that from pictures but never thought to try videos until now.)

> “Coffee machine in back kitchen wont connect to internet"

I think that was a reference to the 1998 April Fool's Day RFC protocol HTCPCP [0].
