This is why I need a different job. This pattern sucks energy out of me. I need military minded coders.

I’m interested in understanding what it means to be a military minded coder.

On the field there's no time for false drama or fluff, you have resources (time, energy, devices) and you keep doing the best you can at every step. And if you don't think enough about how you plan your operations, you die.

I don't want my teammates to feel on the verge of death, but I really, really work better if I'm operating at high pace and density and if the team also does that, like swarm of people attacking all problems at all levels on the job.
