...Getting lost in learning org-mode is a fantastic way to avoid creating things...

Now, the next line may not be for you but others stumble upon these threads as well.
In case you don't know where to start and feel there are no options left, know that there is always someone available when you call 988 to help you make that first step.
I'd argue 2048 is harder to learn and that was a popular game.
That having said. Thanks author for taking the time and trying.
My advice, recreate your entire site to show what the tool does. If it is that ground breaking of a change make sure to load it with examples and provide a free demo account.
80% of comments read by HN users are only interesting to 20% of the users who read them.
20% of beer drinkers consume 80% of beer drunk
20% of people snoozes 80% of alarms
80% of Pareto Principle jokes are amusing only 20% of the time
The thing with Pareto is that it always sounds right, no matter if it's true.

In our group we have the rule to add a task/story/feature ID when you add a //todo in the code. It helped us to prioritize and close todos. If the task was not prioritized for a long time (became overdue) or was rejected the todo is also removed from code. Apparently it was not deemed important enough to implement it and current code became the accepted version.
* Despite the motive for the act there is actual malicious code injected in a library without notifying or disclosing any information.
* The whole act was not well thought out. The check is rudimentary to put it gently, or plain naive to say it straight. Not only Russians are targeted but also anyone having vpns or other legitimate reasons to run under Russian IPs. Finally the check is crude and might as well fail at some point, with devastating effect.
* Author seems to be removing github issues, hiding conversations and doing damage control now that this backfires.
* keep it simple. I want to scan your CV in a minute or two to see if it is worth reading. Skip the fancy fonts, images, charts or flowers etc.
* I typically go work experience > recommendations/achievements if any > summary/profile > name, stop. If I'm not having my next meeting in 5 minutes I may go education, remainder I often not read. (sorry)
* I find skills and education worthless often and skip when I'm in a hurry. People inflate skills and using a skill in a 5 person company is very different from an enterprise. Education these days doesn't say much in Europe. No top colleges like MIT.
Often the only thing that really matters to me is work experience. It allows me to judge if you're used to our kind and size of problems. In a talk I'll learn how fast you can learn.
That having said. I can imagine for a design related job you want people to express themselves on their CV.
Point is there is much more at play why fortune 500 companies and startups die. You cannot put that to bureaucracy (alone), especially not from the distance we are discussing it here.
It's not that this thread advices to shrug it off. They try to explain why some things can't go faster that easily and what seems cloggy and stupid can still be an effective machine at scale.
Now if there are too many people waiting on the central team and all requests are valid the company should address the single point of failure. Grow the central team, train more externals to become contributors or agree to have duplication to a certain agree. Not everything is worth a platform with today's tools and (SaaS) services.
Yes there are but these are not without rules. Try to add a new feature to a large open source project as a new contributor. That has probably as much chance of succeeding as doing this in an enterprise.
There is a reason larger OSS projects have the "good first contribution" section. These are small bug fixes where the work is already spelled out typically. You do these to get familiar with the codebase and learn how to make a valuable contribution the size of a feature.
That is assuming the extension is actually desired. If everybody would start adding their little extension to a central platform before too long your platform is gone and instead you end up with a mono-archive that has no clear owner, a variation for every business unit, and so many possible configurations it can no longer be maintained.
Probably it is not that contributions aren't welcome but the author must be trained, given access and the team owning the code must be made available to support. After design discussions the author should implement end2end but likely is not allowed to modify requirements and access some of the other tools to make the updates. So owning team must be made available to do that work. The owning team is likely not paid to smoke cigars with their feet up so Q1 2022 is their proposal. I've seen worse.
With brands like keychron and ducky now providing hotswap options on Q1 or Ducky 3 entering custom builds became a lot easier as these provide big runs which allow you to buy from a shop rather than joining limited group buys with nowadays 6-12 months lead times (and selling out in minutes or taking raffles). It isn't the quality of say Monokei, TGR or Keycult but that is expected for the budget range they play.
Having gone beyond entry market years back I'd say it today still brings me the most joy of any hardware upgrades I make to my computer setup. Walking up to my desk seeing a full custom is something I like.
Those that would like to explore a bit more, in the custom keyboard world the aforementioned switches are mostly considered starters. More popular, people use switches like Gateron Black Ink V2, Alpacas, Tangerines for linear. U4T, Zealios, Kiwis for tactiles. And about 100 different alternatives available based on taste [0].
Combined with a more premium quality board that fits your typing angle and keycaps in a profile you like (you have cherry profile but also KAT, KAM, DSA, and many more to fit your liking) it may differ considerably from pre-built options.
Not saying it will be for you, but discarding mechanical keyboards on base of what the pre-built market offers is not the best measure of things. It is like saying you hate scissor switch keyboards because you typed on an Acer laptop once.
P.s. Be careful as you will quickly learn topre keyboards are not that expensive.
