I'm so tired of the artificial complexity of corporate jobs. 95% of what I do is completely unnecessary, just jumping through hoops and checking boxes instead of actually doing the thing. I want to be, like, an 18th century cobbler or something.
No SWIs, no naming conventions, no gantt charts, no alignment meetings. I buy leather and wood. I cut it into shapes. I make it into shoes. Done. Simple. You want a bigger shoe? No problem, I don't even have to file a P&L on that, I can just cut the leather a little bigger!
Oh, you wanted that shoe today? Too bad, it's going to take me until Thursday. That's how long it takes. That's when you get your shoe. I'm not even gonna request an expedite from some other department just so they can yell at me about following process. Come back on Thursday.
You heard that some guy on the other side of the country is making shoes with a new feature? I'm not going to try to figure out how too capture his market share. I don't care. Go buy shoes from him if you want, it'll take you a month and he probably won't accept your currency.
