Thought experiment: if you inherit a spaghetti codebase with 10 million plus lines of code, how long do you have to find and communicate all the bad surprises?

There's no objective answer, but 6-12 months seems reasonable to me for a new CEO.
- ganoushoreilly 9y agoI agree, i'm not fan of Uber but a CEO simply can't learn all the ins and outs in a week. More so, i'd imagine that if the stories here are all true, there's all sorts of cover ups that have been happening and in many ways he's having to figure out whom he can trust, let alone how to find the skeletons. I'd imagine he got a pretty substantial incentive for coming on board.
