"How long is it going to take?" gets asked before anyone has written a line of code. For something new, the honest answer is "I'll tell you once we can see the rest of the work."

Every engineering org is going through a transformation in how it builds. Delivery volume is up, and so is instability (workslop). Velocity + quality now takes a new skillset and new scaffolding.

"Does recognition matter?" gets a yes from everyone.
"Are you running it like infrastructure?" gets a longer pause.
Where does your org cap the quantity and quality of recognition...and who put that cap there?
