That's a good maxim for dealing with people you meet in real life. It's a useless maxim for dealing with trillion dollar multinationals.

- jjoonathan 5y agoI'd say "dangerous" more than "useless." Big companies have plenty of incompetence to go around, but they also have plenty of malice disguised as incompetence, because children learn how to play dumb before they can talk and don't get worse at it when they grow up to become megacorp employees.
- mattnewton 5y agoHaving briefly worked (as a grunt with no visibility into exec decisions) in the maelstrom that is apple, I think the only sinister thing that could be happening is no one has an incentive to fix things like this, they only get exposure / promotions on shipping new features or large quality bugs. And so if they weren't bothered by it, and no execs we're bothered by it, it would just go unfixed.
