Much like how we are asked to assume the best of posts here on HN, and presume innocence of those on trial for crimes, yes, that seems like a good place to start from.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoAssuming that any particular worker is competent until proven otherwise is fair. Assuming that all workers are competent is just naive. You may as well assume there are no bike thieves in NYC.
- falcolas 4y agoWe're discussing 50-75% layoffs - terminating the employment between 3,500 and 5,250 software engineers... people. I feel it's completely fair to assume that a vast majority of them are competent. Just as I assume that a vast majority of people on bicycles in NYC aren't thieves.
