> It's incredible how 50 year-old advice from The Mythical Man-Month are still not being heed.

A lot of advice is that way, which is why it is advice. If following it were easy everyone would just do it all the time, but if it's hard or there are temptations in the other direction, it has to be endlessly repeated.

Plus, there are always those special-snowflake guys who are "that's good advice for you, but for me it's different!"

Also it wouldn't surprise me if Sam Altman's talents aren't in management or successfully running a large organization, but in machiavellian manipulation and maneuvering.
