I don't mean this to sound skeptical, just curious - would you say that the military gets things done better than your average tech company?
I could fill pages with complaints and criticisms of the way companies do business, but sometimes I wonder if it's a matter of being the worst way except for all the others
- battery_cowboy 6y agoThe military spends a fucking ton to get the results they get, I'd bet they put a million bucks into my training as a junior officer back then (it was a while ago). That's mostly why they get results. It wouldn't work for most businesses.
- bsder 6y ago> would you say that the military gets things done better than your average tech company? No, because a tech company is all about avoiding work. Tech companies do as little as possible to reach the benchmark and no more. The military is about "Getting unit X of work done. Period." Whether that work is stupid or irrelevant is not up for debate once it's assigned. The work must get done; it will get done; there is a minimum standard; the cost is now irrelevant."
