    Yeah. Spend a decade or more building resilient architecture, sure, you can now fire people. Good luck building on it though.

    Chesterton’s fence is pretty important in tech, and the community sucks at documentation while working.

    Also: I work in tech, holy fuck the burnout I’ve experienced these last two years is being anything I’ve experienced before.

      This happened to my employer’s competition. They couldn’t deal with the clusterfuck that was the last few years. Meanwhile my employer has a big engineering staff and got more market share.

      Both of us man. And those resilient architectures are not as resilient as some bosses seem to think. Which we saw with twitter will end in hilarity if the people that they need to try and get it running again are as petty as they should be.
