- hedora 4y agoYeah; it really is an insightful post (as are the sibling comments here). I kind of want to have people write a response to that essay in lieu of whiteboard coding now. Anyway, at all jobs (so far) I've deeply cared about the quality of our product and the company bottom line, which explains why I'm invariably miserable at big company jobs. I can actually think back to explicit feedback when I was passed up for a promotion that boiled down to "improve brown nosing skills, even if it puts the core business at risk". The core business at that particular former employer is imploding; I'm long gone, as are 90% of the people I'd like to work with again (many left for similar reasons). Anyway, there were lots of forehead slapping moments for me while I read that post. Having said that, the main insight was the central thesis of Office Space. Same shit, different horse, I guess.
