Honestly; navigating the corporate and other “professional” systems is the nightmare for me - especially in big business.

I won’t go into too much detail, as it will just turn into a vent. And the current industry direction in general doesn’t make it easy (containers, industry leading black-box “solutions”, system admin and security).

In my immediate experience; cowboys that just “do” no matter the risk, informed or not; are really thriving right now. Not sure if this is a post-pandemic large lockdown results driven thing..

But if you follow good/great practice, are a responsible, policy and process following individual - constructive and critical thinker; you’re in for a hard time. Smaller firms seem to handle this better, in my past experience.

Theres also a group of individuals in between these two that seem to be struggling.

"Best practices" is cargo culting. You wanna talk about people that just 'do' no matter the risk, informed or not - well, blindly adhering to what someone else calls 'best practices' is just exactly that. And they're often bad practices.

Of course, that's situationally-dependent. If you've got the constructive and critical thinking bit, hopefully you're questioning those practices. If cowboys are thriving, there's a reason why. They may be wrong sometimes, but sometimes they might be right.

Thanks for the response. Definitely picking up what you’re putting down.

My choices of words may not be ideal. I guess more soo fundamental good practices than similarly above criticised buzzword-like.

Not sure how you feel about the rest of the post?

Either way; thanks.
