@polotek I think that's something me and many other "unsuccessful" staff engineers got locked in: the moment you push to sustainability people in position of power label you as problematic, lack of vision and outdated.
It's common to see peers solving issues with "get a bigger fleet (computers) to scale" and move to other "important things" since, "we have enough money to burn while we approach to profitability." instead of take 6 hours to solve that big-slow-ass database query
