In fairness, cargo culting can be good in very targeted ways.
My company didn't have a clue on what to purchase for software development equipment or how to organize it. As a result, they observed what Google did and copied it to the best of their ability as their pocketbook would allow. Although it's not perfect and they have no idea why it works, it's certainly better than anything they could organically have come up with.
- the-dude 6y agoAre you talking about computers or chairs and desks?
- gowld 6y agoThose are all the same class of tools. The other side of that "or" is datacenters and networking infrastructure.
- the-dude 6y ago> software development equipment You seem to be talking about production equipment. At least I have never needed a datacenter to develop software. But hey, that is just anecdata of course.
- cutemonster 6y agoI thought it was software, but I'm a bit confused because isn't most good software infra open source (eg postgres, Linux, most web servers).
