Perpetually kneecapped by one of the worst management cultures I've ever seen
- MengerSponge 2mo agoWould you say those badass engineers were/are managed by Careless People?
- swiftcoder 2mo agoMy impression is that they had created a system where management cared very deeply about "number go up", and very little about "which number?"
- MengerSponge 2mo agoThe book title is a reference to The Great Gatsby: "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald
