> I'm of the mindset where an organization needs to agree to specific principles that everyone adheres. Agreed. But GP was talking about context dependency of those best practices. E.g. what might be a good best practice for a large organization inside a FAANG might be very bad for others. Some organization have very immediate feedback cycles. A significant problem in Amazon's online shop will probably show up immediately in sales numbers. A significant problem in the control software of a plane, might kill a few hundred people in a few years before people realize there is a problem. Therefore you cannot a/b test which auto pilot works better in a certain situation. (Although Tesla might disagree about that /s). The point is every so called "best practice" should state under which precondition it is supposed to be applied. And most blog articles and books ignore that completely.
