I tried to do this when I joined a new company. Problem was there were four other guys on the team, all of whom thought the correct process was different, not just from what was documented, but from each other's, and would go back and re-"correct" things after me. I spent the whole 3.5 weeks I worked there starting fights and noped right back out.

Similar problem here. Basically they ask me to give feedback, they seem super interested in improving. Oh but when I give feedback... They start to get defensive. Apparently they only wanted small feedback, like fixing a broken link, when I started to point at foot-guns in their docs and in their code they started to get mad at me. I was just trying to inform everyone so we all had the same information or to at least be corrected if I was wrong, nope, suddenly I am "asking too many questions" and I should be "spending 1 to 2 hours before posting a question to the slack channel". Yikes. At the same time they would gaslight me about how I didn't communicate enough of what I was doing. IME this blog post sounds like a fairy tale that someone tells themselves about how good a job they will do, because they haven't actually lived the experience.
