If you’re in software development, you must be feeling for the LE team too

I know I do. I’ve lived through a few botched yet humbling releases over the last 8 years. As a consumer myself, I’m hyper aware of where customers are coming from, but I can’t also help having flashbacks of the other side every time I see, hear or think of anything resembling what the LE team is going through.

Getting blown up online, receiving extreme pressure by leadership, and dealing with confused fellow employees all while the “war room” is demanding 110% of your time, people leaning on you to make quick decisions, assist with PR, etc..

Usually you don’t even have brain calories to spare for the woulda, coulda, shoulda while sh*t is in full swing.

Good luck to the dev team, and I hope you get to have some free time to heal your mushed up brains this weekend. 🫡
