Have you worked at an organization without RFCs, ADRs, etc? The alternative is really just the wild west and whatever politics or pull a person has. RFCs and ADRs are good in the sense that they document _something_ even if the document is junk it's better than an assumption.

Really though it's the organization (and people) that makes or breaks anything.

I generally agree that it's better than nothing. That said, it's possible that sometimes these processes become bureaucratic shields for avoiding certain processes.

For example, a broken RFC process might be a way not to actually involve and gain useful consensus from people (I.e., I did my presentation during the weekly session, nobody had feedback), which instead would be the natural way in a company without that process.

100% agree that it's all about the people (and the culture shaped by them).

It's strange organizations want to push users off of a minor $100/yr/user cost when there are many other ways to save money that don't involve making a power user useless for years.

Use helm to generate the manifests with a Makefile, use Kustomize to change said manifests for prod, staging, etc.

I just want prettier default diagrams in d2, the default theme (and other ones) is a hard sell to orgs where management isn't technical. Something similar to the Obsidian diagram theme

I recently looked into this at it looks like the IETF(?) RFC draft for SSH3 was abandoned? It's great this exists but I think the standard needs to be done as well.

The project is abandoned as well.

This would be my personal hell, let me just read n files of AI slop from the CEO.

What I don't understand is why not use what I've seen in industrial processes? Why not a low boiling point liquid and a heat exchanger? Or even better power a turbine like biogas plants do

It's because of their target, they target corporate non-technical IT where the end users have no idea of what they actually want but want it all integrated, badly, and it all works brilliantly for Microsoft as feature x is $y/mo.

This is more than enough to prop them up. More often then not the consultee already has a plan even if the plan is horrendous the consulting company is there to insulate management from any fallout (read incompetence).

Sadly the time when an org wanted people to excel and really grow at is over, the new normal is peak capitalism of maximizing value.

People develop relationships with coworkers, you care if someone has issues, you're happy if a solution makes customers/coworkers happy but none of that matters to the lawnmower, it just mows lawns.
