Also a good analogy for continuous integration. I can't implement CI because I'm spending too much time doing manual deployments...
- nullsense 6y agoI've seen this play at my current work for the last 2 years, but it plays out in such slow motion that a lot of people just don't realize it. Or, they do, but they've got a deployment to do so they get on with that and they'll come back to thinking about it when the deployment is done. Nothing made me understand how awful and damaging this dynamic truly is than playing factorio. I got to see it play out in real time in the microcosm of my factory. Running on the treadmill of maintaining resources to produce ammo to kill biters and fix things they broke never making any forward progress until a dramatic shift in strategy that freed up a lot of cycles.
