- Paradreamreal: Any specific highlights?
- dreamrealPretty much all of it. It's a pretty depressing list: I read it going "heyyyy waitasec"
- dreamrealI've been at places where ALL of those things were said, apart from the specific names
- sbalmosdreamreal: thanks for the first-of-morning depressingly-true read
- dreamrealany time, my friend
- GreenResponsechicken farm, human farm: spot the difference
- sbalmosone is more nutritious
- dreamrealit's the human one, right?
- sbalmosdreamreal: you've seen me. I think you know the answer.

- ChronosI've learned the hard way to never bother to try to change current processes.
- Chronos99%+ of the time, nothing meaningfully changes anyway. And it tends to get you labeled as a pain in the ass.
- Para+1
- cheeserwe do all our rfc/spec work in google docs rather than github/markdown so editing, revising, commenting is all super fun.
- cheeseri've whine several times but unsurprisingly no one gives a shit.
- dreamrealChronos: I've managed to create some positive change, I think
- dreamrealit's just slow and often rewarded with lashes
- dreamreal"... dadgum troublemaker fixed all our crap..."
- ChronosNo good deed goes unpunished.
- jreicherdreamreal: what's the context for that Malin Nordström post?
- jreicherChronos: Para: I've spent almost my entire career changing processes. It's almost always been worth it.
- Chronosjreicher: Were you in management?
- jreicherNope
- jreicherBut I had a very strong relationship with my manager (and their manager). That's crucial.
- jreicherAnd teammates who weren't afraid to argue with me. I often make a point of calling out my own mistakes or stupidities to encourage that by reminding them I'm fallible. I'm usually the person asking the dumb question in every room so nobody is afraid to argue with me at other times.
