Does it need to be rehashed every time their name is invoked?

If one speaks of THE Adolf Hitler, does it demand a replay of the historical record?

Depends on what “grand scheme” you’re speaking to.

Liberal and conservative think tanks have both concluded that the Interstate and road projects have never paid themselves off.

The oil and gas companies have been hiding studies that there has been significant environmental impact due to burning those fossil fuels in all those vehicles for decades.

And you seem to be waving away lobbying and concluding “America is just bad at it.”

That’s a naive take on the history.

Oh yeah, these tools are all trainable

In my experiences though, there’s no time to become an expert anymore

You get it set up, then a PM or manager with no clue redirects us to the next priority. Meanwhile the new monitoring tool just hangs out being underutilized at $20k/mo

Not to say all PMs or managers are clueless, but there are more clueless ones out there than not. They are noise generators themselves.

Or, IMO worse, the sycophant coders who concern themselves with their own personal metrics, release dumpster fire after dumpster fire. And us in devops and secops are fighting their idiocy all day, not training tools to catch intruders.

I’ve worked with far too many people who epitomize that meme of Captain Kirk where he can’t hear you over how awesome he is
