       | (On an unrelated note, TIL that you can highlight text to
       | copy/translate etc directly from a YouTube video on an iPhone. I
       | knew you could do that from pictures but never thought to try
       | videos until now.)

           | I was recently reading an article by a Twitter engineering
           | team member discussing how they're reworking a microservice
           | and kept expecting them to mention Galactus at some point. It
           | lives rent-free in my head. This video is a true masterpiece.

       | I've enjoyed Krazam's other videos, but at the risk of having the
       | joke explained (and thus spoiled), what exactly is this
       | lampooning? Not asking from a critical place, I legitimately am
       | curious about dysfunctional business processes at other companies
       | and want to know if people really are drowning in SaaS access
       | requests

         | Lol, yes, you can extend this same bit to any team that deals
         | with a lot of ops. Usually goes like this -
         | 
         | Too many requests come in for one team to handle. No budget to
         | hire more bodies, or maybe you've already reached a point where
         | that will no longer scale - the work can usually be automated
         | completely, but stopping and taking the time to automate it
         | will result in a 100% loaded team KPI's dropping significantly,
         | meaning you'll almost never get management buy-in or any time
         | to do it, leaving you in a perpetual cycle of manual work
         | requests flooding in like in this scene.

         | I was kind of hoping the ending would be his tool worked and
         | they all got laid off - actually seen this happen.

         | It's about this weird urge that smart people sometimes feel in
         | jobs that they feel are beneath their talents, to radically
         | improve efficiency even when it really does not make sense to
         | do so in context of who they are and what their job is.

       | You can kinda implement the 'strangler pattern' for this kind of
       | ticket toil. The tool scrapes the ticket queue, tries to do what
       | it can, either it is successful and closes out the ticket or
       | updates it with a new state of what it was able to achieve (if
       | anything) and hands it back to the humans. You can start with
       | only the most basic tickets and then slowly start to expand its
       | scope and capabilities to handle more patterns and edge cases.

       | work these KRAZAM puts into their videos. Just the mural on the
       | whiteboard took them multiple hours - and, that's for a few
       | seconds of the video. Unbelievable how much love is put into
       | something. And, it sounds weird but really touching to see
       | creatives do something that they truly love.
