I'm a big fan of this explanation/rant from Andrew Murphy.

Taken as a whole, there are many bottlenecks in a corporate software development process. The "load-bearing" calendar is a great example!

Speeding up code creation just increases pressure on the bottleneck, which decreases throughput.

I can't say this often enough these days: Our dependence on US-controlled tech (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Meta), at all levels of society, is a massive security risk and a tool of coercion that must be addressed urgently. #Privacy #Security #DigitalFreedom #ThinkOpen
