LOL. Don't worry. The current state of Yahoo and their CEO clearly proves you're right. But remember, many people here make a living by pushing others to unhealthy extremes. This is their entire job. So of course they will downvote you for suggesting the time they and their exhausted programmers "worked" on weekends was wasted. Doesn't change the fact that it was.
- dredmorbius 10y agoSome ideas are doomed no matter how clever, motivated, or well-considered the working environments. We champion Newton for his work in gravity, optics, and mechanics. Not so much in alchemy. If the field you're plowing isn't fertile, no amount of good agronomy will help you. Yahoo may not have been abolutely intractable, but it was in a bad position and getting worse. I had no interest in working for the company or using its products, and I'm no particular fan of Meyers (I think she's accomplished a few useful things, may be felt by her absence at Google, and has also done and said some tremendously stupid things as well). But hanging Yahoo on her neck alone is false narrative.
