Your comment does not highlight anything which indicates that Australians blindly follow the rules. I'm Australian, currently live in Sydney and I feel as you do, but none of your examples explain your claim. No, I don't have time

The bar is per-team at Amazon, which is one of the bug hiring problems. Worse, your title - and your quality of life at Amazon - is entirely dependent upon what your manager thinks of you. It matters way more than at other companies.

If they were "customer obsessed" even though they are not doing development of a service, they would lauch it anyway in all regions. By not doing this, they make it hard for their customers to be multi-regional. It is easy to spin

I am skeptical that is actually the case though, there are so many use-cases where you have to think through the consequences too carefully: - what happens when the source repository rewrites all the commits (to remove one); should the fork

A common problem when using Gerrit is the Change-Id being copied across from different branches (via, for example, git cherry-pick). The idea is ... interesting, but the implementation of Change-Id has quite a few problematic corner-cases w

However, git has all those features; whereas each of the other DVCSes had only a couple of them. That is what made git successful. The git cli is, comparatively, a lot easier to grok than it was at the start. One thing about software, onc
