like...what? which practices?

just getting teams on board with "classic" tools like static analysis and sanitizers is major. And those can usually be described as 'production ready'
- secondaryacct 5y agoThe guy clearly does it the wrong way, he has a solution and everyone is looking at him "but what problem do we have this solves". So yeah, I mean even if these tools were production ready, they wouldnt be used. If they solved a problem people had, you d bet we d stay at night to make them production ready. He seems to think his devs are like mindless zombies needing constant intellectual feeding from him, the researching CTO, but it s probably more like they raise their eyes "oh god what is the guy producing no value day to day going to show us again while we stress on the deadline pretending to listen to him"
