I definitely understand where you are coming from, but as another poster summed up the current method just flat out needs to be changed, it just is untenable how ridiculous it is.

And...frankly if there is anyone that actually has a proper proven track record of actually fixing shit software side, I'd say Elon Musk has a decent one. Easy example would be twitter/X which runs remarkably well with less than half the staff it did. Hell, I think its had fewer outages (at least, per year) compared to before Elon acquired it.

That and Elon seems to know how to properly manage data engineers and guide them properly, so frankly if anyone can do it, its probably Elon.
