In my last role as a senior you were siloed, with little visibility on larger company goals, cross team issues etc. It was nigh impossible to have a holistic view of things like mentioned in the article. I was lucky when the staff engineer

> People rarely stop in the middle of a road How rarely? How does it compare to self driving cars per km driven?

Firstly, is a physical shortage of beds the problem? Capacity is not just physical, where do the doctors come from? As for building additional capacity with a WW mindset... how about just annex the currently empty offices and buildings? .
