All of the above; being a mid-career IC/TL with visibility into actual outcomes in prod has organically matured a deep respect for boring technology---warts and all---especially when cumulative NRE is well into 10-digit territory.

Although it isn't the case, it sure has felt like we've been operating like cost center baggage these past few years.
