>BS! Which of these was done by the accountants?
HackerNews, generally, has a hate on for "business people", who are seen as evil, ne'er-do-wells, while the "engineers" are innocent employees, merely following orders.
I think it's because most people here see themselves as the engineer type, and this mindset allows them to feel better about the work they're doing, be it emissions scandals, ad-tech, building the surveillance state apparatus or phony medical devices: "don't blame me, I'm just following orders!"
- mihaaly 7y agoThe story here was unfolded by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic and perhaps more uncovering and analyzing the facts and events. These are not the typical engineering biased organization if you ask me... but still they put very strong blame on the organizational and company culture changes created by 'accountants' allowing ineffective and in many cases oppressed situations, leading to repeated disasters! Do not try to misdirect this very serious story into primitive occupation bias please!
