What specifically is not sustainable? As I see it you're basically arguing for less focus on innovation. Skiff failed as a business. To not waste resources would mean it had to never have existed in the first place. That means you need

Governments "optimizing" resource allocation to avoid "waste" tends to not actually make people's lives better. Or reduce actual waste.

And that's the problem. "It's easy for me because I've done it a dozen times so it's easy for everyone" is a very common fallacy.

GCP support is atrocious. I've worked at one of their largest clients and we literally had to get executives into the loop (on both sides) to get things done sometimes. Multiple times they broke some functionality we depended on (one t

NYC also has some very interesting tax laws. I believe nowadays you get a 35 year tax reduction if your condo building is not in Manhattan, has under 30 units and has an average unit value of under $1 million (technically it's $65k of

How does this prevent these issues? Do you think a 5 year old child would not sign over all their property to their dear parents and/or manager if asked? It just increases the number of people who would try to swindle the kid since lit

OKRs are simply an extension of the fact that companies and departments need some sort of 3-6 month roadmap. That is to ensure cross-department and external communication can be done somewhat smoothly. Waterfall used to do this inherently.

I've been thinking about this for a bit. Productivity is a hard sell for a company that is tech focused. Since a client basically can't measure the impact there is little external difference between a true solution and a fake solu

This is nothing new. I went to a very rigorous high school in the late 90s. It was in no way a secret that every top university and even scholarship competition had caps for how many could make it in from our school. The joke amongst studen

You have yet to say why. Making random hyperboles and sounding angry isn't an argument, it's a tantrum.
