There’s always more work to be done. Doesn’t mean it’s worth doing.

  Facebook went through some really massive, traumatic growth and the amount of work increased far faster than hiring or engineering could keep up. This left scars on the organization—better to have too many engineers than too few, the wisdom went. During this period of growth, the “more work” that needed to be done really was critical. It just isn’t critical any more.

  Most of the engineers I worked with (non-tech industry) never seemed to have a clue about the business situation of the company. They could just see there were lots of requirements and assumed the future was bright. Edit: Yes, I see this contradicts my original post. I was hoping the employees in big tech would be a bit smarter.
