- flatiron 5y agowe still had our processes though. Radar was my least favorite, but they replaced the ant eater app with one that was at least partially usable right before i left.
- jjtheblunt 5y agowe'd say, about spoken mad scientist style requests, if it's not in radar, it never existed. :)
- q3k 5y agoIMO/IME it's the clash between tooling, systems and and processes designed for running long-term highly scalable and reliable services maintained by teams in multiple geographical locations and used by billions of people; and greenfield projects that just want to get things done at an early stage. Requiring multi-cluster/region, the quota/resource economy system, handling PCRs, code review, readability approval for complex configuration languages (and the existence of such complex languages in the first place) ... all of that makes sense in a vacuum and all were built to handle real problems and are likely written in the blood of a near-miss outage. But it also all comes crashing down on you when you're doing things from scratch for a relatively simple usecase that no-one really designed for.
