The real issue here is how much information is shot at you when you’re working at a place like this. You’re likely in a number of groups where people are posting design questions, specs, announcements, new team joiners and leavers etc. Then there’s a wiki and a chat thread or two, and there’s probably even an old wiki page that’s still used for specific aspects that haven’t been migrated to the new one. Bonus points if the group posts are just mixed in to a newsfeed with some kind of non-chronological algorithm. Oh, and, you know, don’t forget to check email. And do your actual work. ‘I posted it to the group’ is as bad an excuse for not properly informing as ‘It wasn’t on the wiki’ is an excuse for not finding the info. The real culprit is just the disorganized firehose of information from all the teams and people you’re supposed to keep tabs on.
