Edited by Adam Compton comptonaHi, Im Waldo, and this is Comfortably Numb How Corporate Analgesia is Actively Harming You. In short, Im here to talk about pain. Congenital Analgesia. Congenital analgesia is a medical condition whose sufferers are completely unable to feel physical pain. At first thought you might think it is a superpowerUnfortunately, congenital analgesia is not a superpower. It doesnt grant you better reflexes, or make you super nimble, or prevent you from bleeding out. In fact, youre probably going to be clumsy, because our spatial awareness is built mostly from our sense of touch. As a result of being clumsy, you have to be extra vigilant about your surroundings, and your self. People with congenital analgesia have to frequently check themselves for cuts, bruises, and broken bones, in order to avoid or treat infections they havent noticed because it doesnt hurt. Additionally, people suffering from it may also experience weakness, in that the unresponsive nerves cannot accurately control the muscles that theyre associated with. Well come back to this. Do you work at a company where the org chart looks something like this Do you have a group responsible for making things, and another group responsible for keeping those things availableIf so, Ill bet that new features seem to take a long time to make available once theyre written. Do you have problems with handoffsDoes it take a long time to get things resolved when multiple groups need to get involved Not that theres fingerpointingBut its funny how everyones theory of whats broken involves someone else doing work HuhIm going to talk about something that I normally wouldnt bring up in conversation, and certainly not in a presentation or article. Im going to do this because I need you to feel something. Now, I have a confession ConfessionThis section includes descriptions of pain and mild violence if you prefer not to read that, please click here to skip ahead. After elementary school, I played baseball for a few years. I gave it up mid high school, because I wasnt great, and I wasnt a coachs kid. So, please take me at my word when I say that I was a decent catcher. For those who dont know in baseball, the pitchers person in the middle of the diamond job is to throw the ball past the batter, but close enough for the batter to have a chance to hit it. If the pitcher successfully throws the ball past the batter, it is caught by the catcher the person behind home plate. As a catcher, I had a lot of extra protective gear that the other players didnt need, but there were two pieces of safety equipment that were more important than the rest The reasons for this should be obvious, but to be explicit a baseball traveling 6. This pain is not exclusive to men many female catchers wear a cup, too. Even if its not from baseball, most people have had some experience with being hit in the gender parts. Its a very special kind of pain, isnt it I want you to remember the feeling. That particular all encompassing, paralyzing, electrocuting feeling. Really savor it for a moment. If you see someone get kicked in their gender parts, youre going to feel something, right Sympathy pain. Not nearly as intense as being hurt yourself, but theres still something there. When someone tells you about being hurt, but you didnt see it happen, you might feel a little sympathy pain, but its easier to shrug off. Now, lets pretend that its time for a demonstrationNo, not really. Lets say I call two people up to a stage Terry and Sam. If you see me kick Terry in the gender parts, all of you in the audience are going to react to with sympathy pain for Terry. But Sam will be feeling something differentIn addition to the sympathy pain, Sam will be wondering what his role is going to be. Will Sam be doing the kicking this time, or will be he getting kicked And since he wasnt asked to do anything yet, Sam now expects to get kicked. Sam now has added the sinking feeling of Oh no, Im next. Sams anticipation has spiked. Its possible his sympathy pain might even be overshadowed by the anxiety hes now feeling too. And this is why being on call is exactly like being kicked in the gender parts. Its not just the heart skip feeling of being woken up at 3am. Its the frustration of the 5th page that came in, one on top of the next, when someone hit all of the deploy buttons even after notice was sent out that the artifact repository was down, and paged each buttons failure as a separate page. Its the feeling of being three yaks into a why the hell is it doing this problem, but you lose all of that context that youd built when the pager goes off. It was DNS, BTW. When I tell you that I got no sleep because I got paged all night, you can feel sympathy for me. Especially if youre on the same rotation with me. If youre not on an on call rotation at all, its like being told about being kicked in the gender parts instead of watching it happen your response is probably going to be just that sucks, sorry. Why Because if youre not the primary on call for your products, youre Comfortably Numb. You simply dont have to care as much. Dont get me wrong nobody is calling you a bad person. Sure, you have a professional mandate to make quality products. However, if youre not the primary on call for your application, you dont have skin in the game. Hearing about an outage is a far cry from being awakened at 3am to diagnose and fix it. Id argue that its an even further gulf than from seeing someone get kicked in their gender parts than being kicked yourself. If youre not primary on call for your product you can sympathize, but youre safe in the knowledge that youre not going to be kicked. This has the added effect of contributing to Us Versus Them thinking. Because the people who care for your products know that there is a hierarchy of status. Yes, a hierarchy of statusAnd thats fine for the majority. Right up until youre told that youre now going to serve as primary on call for your apps. WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOAWHAT HAPPENED THERESuddenly you went from a bystander to being next to the person who just got kicked Its going to be ok. Now, Im here to tell you that its going to be ok. Maybe youve never done this before. We know youll need help. You will have help. You will learn. You will grow. Youll have a greater appreciation for people who run things. Because now you, too, run things. Youll understand that failing gracefully is an art, and requires consideration. Youll lose patience for normal errors in logs and for black box software that doesnt allow for introspection. Youll develop a love for insight tooling, and develop a passion for creating products that emit their own status. And, you will fail. You will screw up horribly. And it will be ok. It will be ok because your company will realize that this is a tough transition, and that this is an investment in you and your products. So you will fail, but you wont be alone. You wont be a failure. Heres the ThingSee, those people who used to Run your thingsWell, theyre still around Yes, its a bit on the nose for me to refer to my past career as superheroes. BUT the number of times that one of my peers has been MY HERO is amazing.
