I'm not actually at a company where I know folks by name at this point. I was for a time.

I currently work at a much larger company where I ship platform-related stuff that integrates a bunch of systems (card payment processing... so fintech) for other developers so that they can ship features and products to customers. I've done a lot of the work mentioned in the article.

The hot-take is just a suspicion that we make things more difficult for ourselves by involving more people than is necessary to get work done, not trusting developers, etc.

Update: and is more a reflection about how the industry operates in general than how things operate where i work in particular
