This is only sort-of related, but a while back there was a beautiful Twitter thread, I think about Google product managers or engineering leaders, who come into a product, revamp a bunch of features and come up with metrics to show that they were successful with it in the short term, and then use that as the case for their promotion and time it just right so they can disengage and bail over to the next product, just before all of the short-term decisions they made blew up and hurt the original product. The punchline of the tweet thread was that they move on to the next product - and the final tweet in the thread looped back to the first tweet in the thread.
Does anyone remember this thread?
