- Shared404 6y agoPossibly it's under an NDA or something.
- austhrow743 6y agoProbably she doesn’t know. Her role in it was connecting the researchers with the FBI, which she did. No reason for them to keep her in the loop.
- patja 6y agoAnd who is the idiot? It was really interesting until it became extremely general and vague. It almost makes it sound like Matt Cutts is the idiot since he's the only specific manager mentioned.
- felipemnoa 6y ago>>And who is the idiot? She kind of talks about it in the last paragraph. I don't think she was talking about someone specifically (although she may have somebody in mind) but in general. "Eventually you end up spending all your time trying to look busy, avoid responsibility and save face by scapegoating others. " "The end result of this is that it often feels like everyone at the top is maliciously incompetent." This, according to her, is how you end up with an idiot running an engineering org.
- vezycash 6y ago>And who is the idiot? Short summary: Woznaik vs Jobs. The technical guy vs. the smooth talker. Longer summary: Some people are perpetual resume builders. They want quick promotion, bigger job titles, higher salary... The ladder growth is their reward. And they'll avoid anything that jeopardizes their career path. They'll grab the glory for good stuff and push the blame for bad stuff. The hacker, risk taker on the other hand does not optimize for career growth. Does difficult, critical stuff often without knowing that what they've accomplished is actually a big deal. Even when know they've accomplished something big, they won't toot their own horns. They do it for the 'love of the game.'
- IOT_Apprentice 6y agoI don't get that at all. Woz vs Jobs is not an apt analogy at all. Jobs was never risk averse. He saw what could be done and how to make money off of it. Apple is a Trillion dollar company as a result and Woz is a billionaire.
- wtracy 6y agoTo build on that: Jobs was absolutely someone who did everything "for the love of the game." It's just that the game that interested him was marketing and design, not engineering. I can't imagine Jobs as someone motivated put his head down and do busywork to collect a brass nameplate with a fancy title after twenty years.
- mcherm 6y ago> as a result and Woz is a billionaire No.[1] Woz gave away much of his stock in Apple, more than half of it before Apple even went public.

- Nightshaxx 6y agoI don't know much about if jobs pushed blame, but I read a book written by someone who worked closely with him. He actually had a really great talent which was understanding the consumer. He knew how to market and sell the products and forced through changes to do so.
