Well. Within reason. Don’t get fired.
But I learned early in my career that your platform engineer, IT support, network engineer are your allies. You’ll need them one day when you’re in a bind. The quality of your relationship with them will be directly proportional to how and how much they show up for you.
If I had treated those relationships like a short-term transaction, eh, I don’t need them right now. Whatever. That day I have a production issue on a Friday at 3pm? If I invested unwisely, that same person will just wish me luck and go about their merry way.
But if I invest in the relationship with the long game in mind, that same engineer may sit next to me while a pod is burning like a raccoon-infested dumpster fire.
