> If you start taking pride in the state updates, the endless meetings and approach that part of your work with the same pride you would approach coding then you may find some of the stress disappears as instead of always fighting the system you flourish within it. Taking pride in useless make-work turns you into another useless make-worker, making life suck more for anyone who is still actually trying to get anything done. It’s good advice if you want to suck the soul out of everything you do and become a cog that works 20% of the time, producing less than 20% of what you’re capable of, but getting along really well with management drones holding endless meetings. Responsibility for actually shipping something will shift to the next guy who hasn’t yet embraced the futility of trying to get anything done. He’ll be the one blamed for not shipping and for not being a source of joy in the endless meetings.
