If you’re Honda and you’ve got a factory that can make 100000 cars a year, would you rather make 100000 cars that make $2000 profit? Or 50000 cars that bring $1

If you’re Google and you can only find N top notch software engineers, do you want to put any of them on marginally profitable projects?
- monadic2 6y agoI mean, you still need to convince people to buy the cars to get any profit, so I'm not sure what your point is. >If you’re Google and you can only find N top notch software engineers, do you want to put any of them on marginally profitable projects? Presumably this depends on what kind of work is needed. I've never worked at a place where profit is correlated to engineering talent, including and especially at Google. Again, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
