@avibryant: very much the latter; the former is rarer, if only because its hard to have time to shave a really hairy yak -
@rcoder even if you count non-technical yaks? -
@avibryant: Still important, and still hard unless overall time commitment/meeting load is low. (Mine is right now FWIW.) -
@rcoder@avibryant I worry about what happens when a yak shaving manager moves on. Leaves no system to behind to shave yaks.

@avibryant Hmmm. Very little in my experience. -
@peterseibel it's interesting how varied the responses were to that. -
@avibryant Ironically, it turns out that while I was denying that managers are yak shavers,@squarecog was cleaning up a 500-line YAML file. -
@peterseibel@squarecog someone's gotta do it.
