@benc One of the most productive engineers I've ever worked with, one of these mythical people who not only produces tons of great work but elevates the people and teams around him, would review code like 8-10x faster than anyone else around him, and when we finally sat down to watch how he worked, by far the biggest thing he did differently than anyone else was say "no" a lot earlier. "You're trying to do to much here, break this patch down." "You need to find a simpler way to do this."
