Behind every ❗️❗️❗️🚨🚨🚨URGENT🚨🚨🚨❗️❗️❗️ there is a person who's about to miss a deadline and, instead of working on themselves to prevent that from happening in the future, makes it the developer's deadline to miss

Also that urgency is rooted in job insecurity, not even customer impact. They just don't want to look bad.

Yeah but we're all learning, so a certain amount of grace is called for.
