It's a founder saying dumb things about his own product. That's incredibly worrying since he holds all of the access to all of the employees to get his facts straight - it's obvious he just didn't make use of that. He bu

This might be unpopular, but they're not going to let major things fail because of political reasons. Popular opinion thinks the US is declining, and failures only add to that perceived momentum. That's why there's endless st

Maybe the technical programmers just aren't in a place where their talents are valued and used effectively? Maybe you found a great place that's a good fit before they did?

We don't humanize statistical methods or other math formulas in similar fashions, we (should) blame the people that wield them irresponsibly. The show, up until I stopped watching, felt like slow-rolling click bait.

I think it's the other way, the rapport and chemistry allow you to resist someone when they're (consciously or not) dominating the room. You're more easily divided if you don't have that with your coworkers.
