The problem is I've worked at at least 5 companies that professed a strong "bias for action" and it nearly always meant working nights and weekends to ship broken things that ultimately hurt the user and then moving on to the next big leadership project to do the same thing again, never looking back. The exception of course would be when leadership finds it's broken in 5 months and complains about poor engineering practices and asking why engineers can never get things right. I've heard all the truisms listed in that post in my 14+ years at many companies that aren't Google and in all cases there's a major gap between the ideal and the reality. This entire list reads to me as "I got paid 10s of millions of dollars to drink the Kool Aid, and I must say, the Kool Aid tastes great!" | ||
