From a dev at Big Tech: “3 devs across 3 teams are stuck for a month on a build problem that’s caused by connections resetting between two gateways and a messaging queue. I cannot solve it because I’m blocked access to the other 2 teams’ systems. I cannot see AI solving this.”

At Nike I did two refactors: - Rewrote the add to bag (cart) logic to use a different data structure - Copy 500 lines to a different file, no changes Guess which one took less than a week to approve, and which one got trivial fix requests from 5 different devs, yet nobody approved before I left?

At booking I had issues where we had to hunt down people up the management chain to convince another team to fix a bug they created For me the only challenges left are dealing with scale of tech and scale of organization. Everything I can fix myself feels trivial
