Good read. Good to know that Uber engineering culture was as much of a dumpster fire (despite the brilliant moves) as their product.

- pid_0 6y agoBrilliant is a big word for a company that still hasn't earned a profit

- satya71 6y agoHmm, looks like this comment didn't go over well. I think they had brilliant engineers (far beyond what I can even imagine) that pulled-off incredible feats to avoid disaster. But the disaster need not have loomed. Rewrite-the-world development smacks of what I call "cowboy engineering". Why didn't they migrate the existing code-base one layer at a time?
