Everyone talking about backups, and the need to avoid blame during disaster recovery. And that's all great.
But MY big takeaway is the final section. After all that, the studio threw away the movie anyway. Had their people make a different movie, working 100 hours per week for 9 months straight. That sounds like an absolutely dystopian hellscape of a culture, and the tone of the article seems to celebrate it. Marveling that those people had the "opportunity" to experience that level of "camaraderie".
My first couple of jobs out of college were pretty "death march"-ish. And yeah, maybe there's something to having an experience or two like that under your belt when you're young and single. But this Pixar example here is just straight up abusive and exploitive, and I'm not sure that a celebratory lens is how we should best view it.
