That's a good argument.
On the other hand, that's a bit counter my experience. Working in a large company, I feel like walls keep emerging spontaneously and piercing through them is the bit that requires work. Often people inside the company cannot tell apart two teams working on related things, but the teams just won't talk to each other. Much less allow any kind of convergence to happen.
- dTal 5y agoThe "convergence" may happen at a level of the management structure that isn't visible to the rank-and-file worker, but rather several "layers of abstraction" up in the realm of budgetary and policy decisions. For example, a "budget laptop" company that doesn't place a high priority on high quality UEFI firmware isn't going to suddenly spin up a top-tier embedded team just because they decided to make a "premium" product - it might not even occur to them as something they need to spend more effort on.
