I _kind_ of expected this after last time. I wouldn't want to be working there right now :o

  Why not? I think now would be the most interesting time to be working there, where you can learn the most in the smallest amount of time. You'd gain much more knowledge powering through the hard times rather than just coasting around for the easy ones.

    Yeah but what you’re learning is “how to not catastrophically fail your customers”. In a better company that’s a lesson you already learned. There is going to be a LOT of stress and tension, it's hardly a great learning environment.

      >In a better company that’s a lesson the company already learned. FTFY. Just because you work at a company doesn't mean you were around to experience what ever event provided some sort of "learning" experience. If you don't experience it personally, what ever systems the company has in place to protect itself from said events just look like bloat/legacy cruft ripe for a young upstart to disrupt away.

    If RH had any interest in being a sustainable business that respects their customers they would have hired engineers that have already been through the "hard times", several times, and don't need to learn on the job. But in startup land sustainable businesses are not the goal - customers be damned.
