Needing the managers permission is more of a "wartime" mode.
For peacetime the management should set a culture of peer review and data and logic driven discussion. The culture would ideally have a Rust lover sit there and think "would love to do this in Rust but...." because they know their peers will be affected by this decision.
The problem with management approval required is it usually meams no or bias towards management pressures. A management veto that is occasionally used may be better.
Disclosure: not a Rust programmer but pretty neutral on it. It is on my radar if I get a problem Node or Go can't solve.
You have not said what the market is. Recording studios have a solution. And probably don't use pomedero. And the reason for the indicator I assume is to stop people barging in and stop people saying silly stuff thinking their off air so it needs to be inside and outside the room.
Hmm, you sure? I checked OP, it says "marketed for video conferencing"
> Recording studios have a solution.
Okay.
> And probably don't use pomedero.

Okay.

Video conferencing, ex. the above scenario you laid out

Here's a link to the site, it has marketing material re: this. https://busy.bar/
For context, we are replying to a comment putting that marketing into question. Therefore the "RTFA" card is not in your deck to play. (I say with a tongue in cheek tone: no flamewar intended!)
In particular GP said:

I think I agree. Back in 2003 my boss said "when my headset is on I am busy". He had to remind everyone a few times. But that worked.
Reductio ad absurdum: If its for recording studios, fine. If not, get off my lawn, its just reinventing having a conversation.
It's telling that both obstinate refusals to not understand what its for end up on unrelated stories about bosses. Let's call it PHB derangement syndrome.
It never seemed likely it was that confusing, it's pretty hard to have been alive from 2020-2024 and claim that there's never any reason for anyone to know anyone else is on a video call. I guess I'm lucky I can take out my Monday scaries via pointing out the obvious, it'd suck to be on the other side and have to pretend I'm stupid.
You're thinking grandiosely. It's pretty simple situation thats different from that one.
No one's trying to lay claim to if this individual product "becomes Dropbox", and you're not saying you can build it in a weekend, which is the comment you're referring to.
I think you may be swapping in a bailey of "oh we're arguing about whether this will be "successful"" because the motte of "what is this for, it can't work!?" was obviously stupid, as you've ceded.
The original ftp dropbox comment was about usefulness rather than success IMO. They were saying why is this needed.
With the conraption here. It is not useless, sure, but that is not a high enough bar to use resources to manufacture it or for there to be a market for it. Other than someone mentioned geek consumerism.
Easy fix. Call the person when tbey are on a call. If engaged tbey will be engaged. Then move that person to a house in the suburbs where their kids bappen to also live.
Depends what you mean by busy. I use the "free" designation option to plan work in my shared calendar. I am busy but I am also free for a meeting if needed. In server parlence this might be an async batch processing job.
Peope who do 0.8 hours work and collect a full time salary while playing golf and pretending they do 8 are rare I suspect.
In the monitor screenshot it occured to me that you need to choose back or front. But in most open offices you will probably need a 360 dispaly. A circle design that scrolls might work.
Also pomedero breaks are also busy. Having a break is something. Being interupted during that break is no better than being interuppted during the work part.
The scam was sophisticated and unfortunately most banks are not sophisticated. They call you up and expect you to give them loads of personal details because tbey have some upsell for you. They train people to be scammed. They should instead call and tell you to call them back at their official telephone number.
This problem goes beyond banks to the very core of all we do. How do you know you are talking to a real coworker on zoom?
Maybe governments will create real digital IDs and ubikey like devices and also backed up by phone 2fa etc. The more accounts you need to hack to impersonate someone the harder these attacks will be.
What if scale is easier. Digital ocean app service is way easier to set up than a droplet. Easier to deploy to too and monitor. And same price (ok you don't get persistent storage in that)
