As an addendum, I found the episode fascinating. As someone who has spent about five of the last eight years on a foundational engineering team, involved in _many_ long, grinding migrations where the end goal is clearly a win for the company but not particularly useful for product teams in the short term, I thought the plans Chris outlined showed remarkable maturity and good planning in approach. I also enjoyed hearing a public discussion of the nature of that kind of migration. I would not, myself, choose to talk quite so negatively about a former employer and colleagues, but I respect and enjoyed the decision of idealistic folks like Chris to be open about the struggles entailed!
