I agree with this, but my conclusion is opposite: because resources don’t scale linearly, unblocking more work doesn’t get more done; it just creates more tech debt.
I’m not arguing that we should make everyone work on the same thing or that everyone has the same strengths/interests. I am saying that I feel the community is stretched too thin and would benefit greatly from focusing on a smaller set of work items.
I also suspect that we have a difference of experiences (possibly because I’m not on a rust team?) that leads to different impressions about capacity and effectiveness of the community. I’m not really sure how to reconcile these views. Perhaps the existing processes work fine and what’s missing is some way of giving everyone else the same perspective as the rust teams? It doesn’t seem that way to me, though...
