Doesnt seem very testable of a hypothesis. As a company thats trying to get things done, doesnt it make sense to have someone help you prioritize by telling you when some decisions have long term costs?
The context this discussion seems to miss is the push to do more with less humans. Im not dictating the dev workflows. My bosses are. My judgment is as good as the amount of time i have to spend. Even if Im the best engineer, giving me a 2 min budget to review 10k lines wont go well. But it does not matter to my boss's okrs
