Now I have to go talk to a human and say, hey, I'm doing XYZ, what should I be reading out of these RFDs and they give me like the number based on their experience, right? But still, there's no cataloging, it's more just word of mouth experience.

I mean, like, it's not an unsolvable problem either, right? It's not that, like, Oxide's RFDs are bad or whatever. No, they're great. At least we wrote the stuff down and they're there. Now it's a matter of someone has to go through and comb through these documents and organize them. We need a librarian.

It reminds me of like your favorite, you know, detective series or whatever, where they have to go into the evidence room and find evidence and it's tagged very well. The case files are there. You can find them. They're dated. There's keywords. There's identifiers. And it's like, that's pretty decent actually, right? You can find what you need relevant to the things you're working on.

And it's like we've, like what Chris was saying, we've digitized a lot of this stuff and we kind of just forgot to add that metadata, right? You know, we just kind of left that behind. And it's actually more important than ever because we're generating so much digital content that now we have the problem of finding it. It's like, why did we do this to ourselves?

Unlike the physical world though, at least like, at least the digital world is, you know, malleable, right? You can mutate this stuff. So, if you did find some sort of RFD or some document somewhere and you were like, hey, I thought this was going to have the keyword foo for this and I didn't see keyword foo. I can update it and put foo there.

I can update it and put foo there.

So, next time someone else can find it with that keyword. And I think that's... That's another part of the digital world that we as engineers tend to forget is that this stuff is very malleable. You shouldn't be afraid to change something, even though it's like a five-year-old document to make it better for future people to find it.

Like using your trash example. Let's, let's, let's, I have an analogy real quick of trash on the ground somewhere to a typo in a documentation on a website. Let's make that analogy real quick.

In the trash example, I can fully autonomously pick up the trash, take it, and dispose of it without having to get an approval, without having to get a review for it, without having to verify if the trash really is trash, any of that stuff. I can just do that automatically myself. And that makes it easy for me to do and simple. Whereas that typo on the website, we all know it's correct, right?

We all know that like the change I'm going to make is correcting it. But I have to be subject to a PR review and approval, CICD, all of this crap just to clean up some garbage. And it's like that disincentivized people from wanting to clean up garbage because we've subjected them to these processes that actually are a hindrance. It's like, why did we do these things, right? It's just a typo.

I shouldn't need three reviews from the SIG person to do it. Like, come on, you know, let's just, let's get it in. And then we wonder why there's so much garbage.
