I wrote about how getting my first tattoo was unexpectedly helpful in dealing with the ICE occupation and how Minnesota tattoo shops are acting as sites of self-care, mutual aid, and ways to just say “Fuck ICE.”

Tattooing as Self-Care and Resistance

Sincere thanks to Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, Tom Boswell, Sally Jenkins, John Feinstein, Dan Steinberg, Mike Wise and a whole host of names I'm forgetting. Possibly the GOAT in sports reporting.

A good producer is absolutely an incredible force multiplier and allows the folks who are creating the actual artifacts to be more effective.
A producer beholden to methodology or who does not understand the needs of the game they're working, however, can do irreparable damage very easily.

I reposted this, and then saw some discourse in the replies, so here's my take: big games absolutely need managers and producers. In fact, as I've grown older, more of my time is spent on being a manager and producer. But I think the underlying sentiment here is: trust the people in the trenches.
I know several games made solely by programmers, I know none made only by project managers.
