Interesting. I feel far happier when I am able to just "do the damn work" all day. Instead, I find I am constantly having to pander to the onslaught of stakeholders who require constant meticulous management to give me the space to do the damn work. I can hardly get into a flow state anymore because of the heavy layer of management and dependencies.

Oh, I feel this. Here’s a junior with a quick question, there’s a strategy meeting, oh hey the CI pipeline broke for some reason, and why are the workers slow currently? Did you answer my email yet? Nine notifications on Teams, better go check. Fuck, the engineering management call started two minutes ago.
