A request: when commenting, please try to share as much context as you feel comfortable.
1. Organizational context: Are you sharing observations based on an enterprise environment? A Silicon Valley big tech setting? A startup? Something else?
2. Role context: What you see depends on where you sit.
3. Experience and trust level: Contributors in high-trust environments tend to have more leeway. Tech people from known companies might get a lot of credibility for free. A lot depends on the technological version of the Overton Window, by which I mean "the range of ideas politically / organizationally acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time / the window of discourse."
4. Whatever captures the context best: whether it be risk, personalities, regulatory constraints, funding pressures, legal issues, whatever.
Such context is very beneficial for situating and synthesizing. Thanks.
Personally, I've seen a range. Sometimes I push too quickly or lack political capital, leading to conflict with existing priorities and plans. Sometimes I recommend more discipline and mindfulness about process, which some interpret as being constraining. It is very situational.
