And why you don’t allow developers to make business decisions.

  The huge backlash against Reddit's policy change is a good example of that. Sure, devs and programmers were upset, but after a week or two, all went back to normal as if nothing happened. Reddit continued to work, and its alternatives didn't gain much traction. I have an engineering background and then pivoted into managements science, and the difference in perspectives in the two fields is really obvious.

    Let's not give Reddit's management too much credit. They've lit a decade's worth of investor and advertiser money on fire and have precious little to show for it. Their recent moves seem less like calculated business decisions and more like desperate scrambles to make the site appealing to public investors on very short notice.
