We developers value speed, but settled for mediocrity.
In the golden age of software development, speed was the heartbeat, and innovation was the lifeblood. A culture that revered problem-solving and relished challenges. Failure was not feared but embraced as a stepping stone to improvement. Developers had the freedom to iterate rapidly, learning from mistakes and continuously refining their craft.
Software development was well-oiled machine, finely tuned to foster innovation. Developers were not just writing code; they were shaping the future of technology. The industry moved at the speed of thought, and the only limitations were the boundaries of one's creativity.
Fast forward to the present, where we witness a line of talented developers idly waiting for their turn to staging environment.
We settled for mediocrity when we accepted this as the new norm. The thrill of pushing boundaries has been replaced by the agony of waiting, and the once-pulsating heartbeat of speed has been muted by the maze of processes.
The culprit is not the developers—the brilliant minds tirelessly crafting lines of code—it's the labyrinth of processes that have sprouted like weeds, entangling us in a web of complexity. The very complexity that was meant to streamline has now become the stumbling block, choking the life out of our creativity.
