I got shamed a few times in a new role awhile back in part [imo] because it was assumed I was 1000% git-fluent. The way I’ve started to view svc ticks is similar to how I view grammar knotsies. In the end the idea is to communicate, not to make other people feel like dunces.
At what point do you decide that it is not worth your time? To me it seems taht at a certain point, once you've established the the margins, you grow the business to where you're no longer doing any work.......turning the business into an asset which has some nice cash flow and allows your employees to be happy.
I'm sure there's a good reason for the "tradition". Similar to a group of monastic monks following some bizarre ritual which could be done in a more efficient way. Someone from westpoint or the naval academy probably knows..
