Few Nodes, Many Consequences
Fragility of the FewA small number of subject matter experts limit progress. If work piles up in front of these bottlenecks it's key to have a plan. This is true about all bottlenecks — but often especially ignored with people.
// LYRICS
[Intro] One node blinks. Whole grid waits. [Verse 1] Three names hold the master key To the ancient factory One knows bids, one knows build One knows why the server killed Calendar full, pipeline dry Everybody waits for one reply Expert smiles with hollow eyes Another critical path survives [Pre-Chorus] Fragility of the few Many wait on one or two Load the bridge Then blame the rain Praise the hero Feed the chain [Chorus] Few nodes Many consequences Tiny cracks in giant fences Few nodes Too much weight Every answer comes too late Fragile system, polished floor Everybody waiting at the same closed door [Verse 2] RFP magic, project lore Locked inside a human drawer R&D frozen, delivery slow Ask the person who happens to know No shadow plan, no learning path Just another meeting doing bottleneck math [Bridge] Split the knowledge Build the bench Drain the swamp Don't praise the stench If one absence kills the flow That's not strength That's debt we owe [Final Chorus] Few nodes Many consequences Tiny cracks in giant fences Few nodes Too much weight Every answer comes too late Fragile system, polished floor Everybody waiting at the same closed door
