Getting out of quicksand, with DevOps!
summary
Explains why high utilization multiplies wait time using Kingman and Little’s laws, shows a 26-hour build reduced by moving jobs to an SSD giving 36% faster feedback, and replaces a day‑long manual iOS release with push‑button iOS releases using Fastlane + Jenkins (first working pipeline in about a week). Recommends quantify work, measure lead/cycle time and deployment frequency, cut WIP, automate the frequent pain points, and spend ~20% time weekly on continuous improvement to create a virtuous cycle.
