The last time some one told me something like "changing three lines of code shouldn't take all day"[0], I responded with "Fuck you" because the way they managed to work 'faster' was to make and test their changes in production before committing them to version control. I also once spent a week pursuing a small-but-necessary authentication flow change across two dependencies (one of them owned by a different team) and three tests, only to be fired for talking to the other team members directly (I was a mere contractor) rather than playing 'telephone' and relaying everything through my management and their management, which would have made it take a month instead. [0] It was actually five lines of code.
