I loved this tech-coded business speak gibberish. "For me, managing business operations is just a matter of aligning strategic variables with organizational synergies and making use of scalable frameworks (processes)."
Let me put it this way: Chrome, the Linux Kernel and Ubuntu combined are about 600-700 million lines of code. React core has 70k (150kb). You‘re using 0.0017% less library and framework code than the rest of us.
My personal preference is to ship less code because it means less to maintain over time, less tech debt.
Not really.
