Incidentally Bill Gates chose not to move Microsoft to the Valley (from Albuquerque, New Mexico) because he saw the way people changed jobs each year and figured this would not be good for his young company (From Paul Allen's book 'Idea Man')
- platypii 14y agoMaybe Microsoft would have some more interesting products if they had more employee churn...
- yekko 14y agoNo employee churn == horrible code. I'm living it right now. They do not understand best practice... It's like they live in a bubble.
- michaelochurch 14y agoToo much employee churn == horrible code. Launch-and-flee, fast firing, brutal deadlines, and corporate behaviors that don't instill loyalty, all are pretty bad for code quality.
- mikestew 14y agoI would argue that Microsoft has done fine without finding new ways for people to post pictures of food. Some of their products are so boring that people will run their business on those products.
