I am hesitant to write this, because in general I agree, but let's say a product manager stops a feature short of completed in some sense, even though there are some aspects which would make the feature more robust, secure or optimized

OK, so this will all be anecdotal. But what I am describing is not that uncommon. And I only worked for a very short time in the US. So if you plan to stay in the US for your whole working life than this advice might not even apply to you a

The problem with your argument is: what if the organization doesn't support anyone in learning? (Just like 99% of companies and society in large) Would you say then that you are a low performer? Because based on your argument that'

Sorry, but this is gonna be a kind of rant, so it's very subjective and highly anecdotal. But the post is also very subjective and highly anecdotal so meh I guess. So what I want to say is that I've worked with this kind of person

But isn't that how valuation works works by definition? Why is this model of financing under scrutiny only now???? Blows my mind...

Well then maybe you should do the same thing first to set an example? Because what the OP describes is actually pretty much real. I would suggest you to check out Guy Standing and his research first.

It seems you imply there are imperfect managers but there can only ever be perfect developers. I would be the happiest person on this planet if that would be the case. Excellent communication skills don't help if the listener is sub-pa

Your message really needs context otherwise it's just a random rant. BTW no-one is deploying managers out of thin air. At least not in startups. What I can often see instead is that someone in the higher-ups needs OKRs, and he also wan

The problem is that priorities are still to be managed. And there is no such thing as 10 people decide one priority. It's always one person who decides the priority either by signing a contract, pushing a button, committing some code,

This is still a horrible idea. No IDE support, no debugging support, poor language choice. It's just simply screaming NO NO NO NO NO NO NO on every level of the framework. Not to mention that these days it is more important than ever t

You can blame the person for being angry or you can blame yourself why you cannot face other people's negative emotions. I dont think that the solution exclusively lies with the angry person in this case.
