Breaking down requirements and being the domain expert are not the same role. Engineers can break down requirements perfectly well given they have context of the code and systems and possibilities. A even bigger advantage is that there are

Politics in this type of context is fighting to the death over a single pie versus working together to bake a second pie. Some of this is necessary but when you only do this a company will not grow except through luck.

If I read the footnotes correctly, they claim things peaked in 2019 because the numbers were lower in 2021 and 2021 (no numbers for 2022 and 2023 in their sources). I'm sure the unprecedented but temporary global pandemic had absolutel

That's not the author's point. They did try to improve the behavior in a future commit and were shot down. Hard it seems. So were any requests from others to change this before release.

Most companies that care will run everything though an AB test, the number of AB tests is physically limited by traffic volume and the team in charge of measuring the results of the AB tests is not the team that created the experiment. That
