Org Debt
- kimjune01 3y agoI've been noticing the similarities between how an organization is configured and a codebase. Upon reflecting why organizational change is hard, I made a comparison between the two and suggest an alternative.

Firing a low performer may be a quick solution to a bigger underlying problem, deferred for the next manager.") -This year, Meta laid off all their engineering managers that don’t code. It’s the same move that Google pulled 20 years ago, spawning Maps, Chrome and Gmail.
