You think technology was the bottleneck?

Your button was not important and should not consume resources of any kind and definitely not engineering resources. It taking a week was a feature, not a bug. It meant engineering properly evaluated the priority and urgency of tasks.

Your magic slotmachine will enable a level of shit-producing and warped perception of engineering effort of breathtaking scale. It will have consequences.

For years almost all the engineering effort at all the tech companies went into engineering things which grab as much human attention as possible. Almost any use of engineering time, or AI or whatever would be better than that.

Sometimes latency matters more than throughput. A simple change can and should go in quickly if the manager wants to see it. Except sometimes it can't because the team is strangled with red tape.
