Design docs are critical to your promotion. The boss and the committee do read your design docs, sometimes very carefully. Only your peers and at most your TL read your code.

Yadda yadda, that may be true sometimes but that the quality of the doc would get you promoted makes no sense and is also not a good metric. I think most of these committees look at who approved it and what known people thought/wrote in response. I was told in this promo-game to try to get comments from high-level people for this reason. That is more a popularity contest, and less a competition of well articulated ideas.
I think most people here want to improve the way things are. We talk about engineering practice to improve the practice, not to please management or give career advice. Usually, at least.
This is where it happens first. A bunch of engineers (or just generally people with boots on the ground) get together and find better ways to do things. Before agile was mainstream and corrupted beyond recognition, the waterfall model was the way recognized by management and working within that model would have gotten you promoted easier. Things evolve.
I wish I can check a box to say that I'm over 18 and willing to accept any consequences and unshackle the fully potential of AIs. I hate all these safety protections.
I wish I could check a box and say that I'm over 18 and willing to accept any and all consequences of a nuclear weapon so I could finally buy my own nuke.
Technically I guess that's "zero trust" in the sense of meeting the requirement of not trusting internal connections more than external ones, but in practice I guess "zero trust" also typically entails making every connection go through the same user-based authentication system, which uploading specific keys to specific servers manually definitely doesn't achieve.
The derivative meaning has been use so widely that it has surpassed its original one in usage. But it doesn’t change the fact that it originally refers to the fingers.
