I love how the author is just too busy solving problems brought about by idiots (not him, of course), but never mentions solving problems via:

1. Improving dashboard engagement through awareness. Maybe through something like periodic email blasts that showcase metrics from the dashboards.

2. Mentoring some of the subpar engineers to help them improve so that future issues ebb and overall quality increases.

But, no, the author is too smart for that nonsense...



There's only so much one person can do for 'awareness'. At my workplace new projects usually trickle down from leadership, thru management, and eventually to the engineers. Leadership, in an effort to meet some OKR to be 'more data driven', had the engineers make an intake process for new work. After months of email blasts 'Please submit new project requests thru the form' across the org the grand total of project requests received was one (1). Even the leadership that demanded this process be implemented didn't use it.
