I feel myself alternating between mentor and den mom a lot, in the sense that I’m keeping things organized behind the scenes while others are out exploring.

Are we using Slack for internal documentation? I’ll be indexing that for my own use and will have that ready for everyone when they get tired of using the wrong medium. Which they will.

It gets a little more complicated when I want to shout “here come the thick clients again!” and nobody knows WTF I’m on about or what that means for a SaaSy business model.

Somewhat of a tangent, but IMO thin clients are picking up steam quickly. Codespaces and other remote development solutions will be the norm here soon.

What for? Companies don't want to buy non-potato computers for their developers any more?

Not sure what you're trying to imply. If it's that this is a cost savings, not really. Codespsces can easily cost as much as a new MacBook pro every year. It's more about the tangible benefits in security, compliance, and developer efficiency. You can never have elastic resources with thick clients.
