This sounds like it could result in a chaotic culture where everyone does whatever they want unless actively stopped. For a busy tech lead or staff engineer this sounds like a total nightmare. If you're already asking someone about your plan, there's probably a reason for that and maybe there are limitations or dependencies you're not aware of.

- pixl97 2y agoThe problem with busy tech whatevers is they will quite often not reply nor give a reasonable timeliness on which something can be done. This method forces them to lay out the timeline they can adhere to, and it works as a CYA as it shows you/your group is ready to act and is being blocked by others. It's up to upper management at that point to deconflict blockers.
