2021-02-02 04:43:10 +0000 UTCHi, I have not listened through the whole episode yet but I wanted to write down some of my thoughts regarding leveling up the production of broken silicon. I used to watch a show called TMRO and at so some point they started to put an immense amount of effort into the production quality. They build a large space station like studio, got better cameras, more hosts and a big TV for interviewing remote guests in the studio, they divided the show into sections like "news", "interview" etc. in order to shorten and streamline it and all the other jazz ... they did a really good job! But somehow non of that made the show better or more enjoyable for me. In fact, since then I watched it less and less and today I stopped being their patron in order to up my support for MLID. What I want to say is: Just be careful. Bigger and more shiny isn't automatically better. Now, I am sure you are aware of that (... at least on a surface level), but I think it is good to repeat it from time to time. It seems to be easy to get lost in the rabbit hole that is production in order to optimize something that in the end might not matter as much as it seems. I understand that you are also doing it in order to off-load work to editors and get more breathing room and I understand the importance of that and I support it. I just hope you can find a good way to make it work. Now, I know that most of that sounds very negative ... I didn't mean to say that it is a bad idea and that you are doomed. I just wanted to once more prime your awareness that things like that can sometimes backfire and that it is maybe very hard to find the right balance if you change too much at once. Thanks for all your hard work and greetings from Germany, Adrian
