@GergelyOrosz It’s like Musk has taken the playbook from an Amazon warehouse and applied it to software development. Next up: an ever decreasing countdown timer ticking towards your next mandatory commit 🤦🏻‍♂️

Managers and engineers working through the whole weekend under threat of termination because historically humans work best when exhausted and stressed and absolutely do not take shortcuts. https://t.co/5P67iwnWKG
