Very inspiring! I'm off to "embed quality elements into my deliverables to increase consistency and velocity." Apart from the tone, I agree that it's awesome when an engineer understands your fucked up process and manages to be productive despite it ("goes beyond the processes to independently drive work"), but as a manager you can't count on most people being like that and so you should work very hard to make your process work for people who do not think very much about what could go wrong when acting fairly naively according to this process. It says in the end that these are basic expectations from any engineer or even any employee. Well, maybe, but most people don't meet these expectations, and it's a basic expectation from a manager to be able to work with actually available people and not only imaginary ones.
