I wrote this (almost completely) without AI actually

cheadergen is an open source tool that our Rust lead wrote – not sth. we sell or anything

It does require manual approval for any new or growing files atm but adding some kind of setting for a threshold (maybe per file type) for which Gravity auto-approves might be a good addition in the future

Gravity monitors build artifact sizes to prevent accidental increases – right in your CI pipeline.

I share learning and experiences from running simplabs as a full remote company for many years:

* remote work is about culture, not getting everyone on Slack * transparency among the team is critical if you don't want to alienate team members (burn down your sticky-notes walls!) * managers must have trust and give up on micro-management – just because they cannot see the work happening doesn't mean it is not happening * remote work is great but there's no replacement for regularly meeting coworkers in-person (once that's possible again responsibly)

Patsy Issa makes the case for refactoring legacy code sooner rather than later

Niklas Long describes the upcoming changes to Rustler and how it simplifies implementing Rust NIFs for Elixir.

That's bad just middle management then though. It's also why I'm advocating against project managers who would typically/often/sometimes do what you describe here – if you have someone who doesn't actively contribute to the project influence (or dictate in the worst case) timelines, that's deemed to fail from the beginning.
