I agree if you meant it had a great headline ... I read the whole article but don't really think I learned what that bad decision was.

  Agreed, it's frustrating that the article has an attention-grabbing headline and entirely fails to deliver. It's clickbait. From the article: > So what was the worst decision of my career? I don't know. And that's it. There's no further discussion of their career mistakes. The article should have been titled something like Complexity and change in software engineering. If you're interested in reading about an actual career mistake and what can be learnt from it, I recommend the classic The Mythical Man-Month. From the book: > It is a very humbling experience to make a multi-million-dollar mistake, but it is also very memorable.

    Why is this on HN then?

    Perhaps it's meta - the worst decision of their career was choosing this headline.
