I’m the CTO at OpsLevel, where we’ve been running a Rails monolith for ~6 years. We started on Rails 5, upgraded to 7, and are currently moving to 8. Before this, I worked on Rails at PagerDuty (including splitting a monolith into microserv

Fair enough, but the system isn’t set up to optimize for the happiness of founders and employees. It’s set up to maximize returns, which agreed ends up concentrated in a very few rich outcomes. (btw, big fan of Lost and Founder).

Dilbert... or any place that practices continuous delivery? Sounds like your current/previous companies have heavier weight release processes that reduces how often releases go out?
