Once More, With Feeling - field15

Here is an interesting article from Tammy, who is an editor from Pragmatic. It talks about the lack of attention and care to detail in today’s world.

Here’s the key statement that stood out for me: “I still make things….I do the work correctly. I meet requirements. I genuinely care about the end result. But the environment no longer responds to care. Deadlines matter more than clarity…..Originality costs time that the system does not reward.”

I won’t give any more spoilers, but it’s worth a read.
