>But I also see the other side. Why DOES it take 8 hours to do a simple one-line code change? That's ridiculous. you might be right, but if you're not in a position to help make it take less time, that's not a helpful discussion to have. the reality is that it takes that long, and complaining doesn't make it faster. The procedures that take time exist for a reason, and i'm sure in every organization there are opportunities to make the process faster. But when somebody who wants a change says "why does it take that long", they aren't looking for helpful ways to improve the process, they're looking for an exception to the process be made so their specific change gets out faster.
