But did this significantly impact the business in a positive way? If it was a wild success why did it only last a year? Part of managing software engineers can be to stop them from doing things that merely feel productive.
- JoeAltmaier 2y agoGood questions. The OS releases were the most successful in the company's history. It lasted until we got bought (the price of success) and the old-mill buyer installed drones to crush moral and productivity. They had no idea how an engineering company worked. I quit and moved on.
