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 learn the timings -> finally you beat it. Not that much

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 a few screenshots and assurances. I imagine these players w

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

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 and paste something what value is that really adding? If nobo

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 term fairly facetiously anyway, because I think w

Can you explain why it’s necessary I need to write a ticket to update documentation?
12.
by carlisle_ 4y ago
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 probably needs to get done anyway? Why am I going to write a ticket

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 that Jira is important.

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.

by carlisle_ 4y ago
We’re still talking about updating documentation right?

by carlisle_ 4y ago
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 ticket really needed for?

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 done as fast as they do. They only have to talk to a coup

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 since I quit.

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 out ableism isn't an

We're also the only creatures that have plumbing, water treatment, and access to water without competition or scarcity (with obvious exception). Not really sure what the point is here.

There’s something to be said for the fact that harvesting wood is much more environmentally friendly than petroleum. At the very least a “wood spill” doesn’t exist as far as I know.

So polite but still ready to insinuate other people are incapable of making a correct assertion because they are non-technical. To me it’s just painfully obvious you think very highly of yourself.

I can’t reply with emojis, so imagine this comment is just the eye roll emoji.
