Well, there is Poe's law. You can call my views and our team's culture extreme. We believe it is extreme from a statistical perspective. There's a reason that our team has the tenure that it has. What we are doing isn't out there typically.

But, I would challenge you to challenge anything that you saw as satire and try and wrap your head around how a sane, rational person could, with a straight face say "that's not a problem" and be absolutely right. Feel free to call something out specifically to me, and I will back it up. I'll warn you that you may still not agree with me, because much of what we do requires tacit knowledge to see the benefit of. And once you do, it's self-evident. A person must be studied in Lean and design principles and have seen the trajectory of several software projects over the course of many years.

See if you can understand what are the actual problems in software. What causes projects to fail and teams to have to hire 100s of developers to maintain a semblance of the productivity they had for their first year or two of development.

Try to record your setbacks in a daily work log (we all do this) and address root causes. Do this for 10-20 years and see where you end up.
