Yep! I've done eng "bake-offs" as well, where a few folks / teams work on a problem in isolation then we compare and contrast after. Good fun!

  Not good fun when it's done in secret. That happened to me, and I was gaslit when I discovered the competing git repo. Not saying that's what happened here, but too many people are defending this horrid concept of secretly making half your workers do a bunch of work only to see the boulder roll right back down the hill.

    Yeah, doing it in secrecy is a recipe for Bad Things. I worked at a startup that completely died because of it.

    Yeah that sounds toxic, this was done with everyones knowledge
