PagerDuty is one of the unique companies you can hate (because it wakes you up in the middle of the night) but also love and recommend to everyone. If you don't have it in your stack, get it.
I hate the name, the website, the logo. I hate them all. But I guess this all my fault. And, I agree. PageDuty is one of those terrible product ideas executed right. Good luck guys.

Yes, and I am telling you that is an ignorant stereotype. Edit: You've edited your response so many times I can't keep up. I am not arguing any point of view. You unilaterally said that it is always a bad sign when a company brings in an experienced CEO. That is an ignorant stereotype. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail. Sometimes it's a smart hire, sometimes it's not. The late Dave Goldberg taking the reign…
The parent said it was a sign, not a certainty. If it is a stereotype, it is not an ignorant one.
OT but what's with the splash screen? I can't get pass it (Chrome, Android). This is the second time today I've been unable to read a Forbes article. Why do they care so much about showing me some useless quote that they risk making the site unusable?
After Atlassian acquired StatusPage, I can see them going after PagerDuty (or similar) to complete their devops solution.
Any time a company brings in a professional CEO it's a bad sign.
Yeah, really killed Google.

The parent unilaterally said that it was a bad sign. That is an expression of certainty. Not 'it could be a bad sign,' or 'I believe it's a bad sign,' but 'it is a bad sign.' That is demonstrably and obviously false. I know what they said, and what they said is a ridiculous, stereotypical view of the value of professional managers who often lend far more value than technical people want to give them credit for.
I feel "professional" managers are bad for tech companies. Here are two reasons :
1. A lot of management techniques that are taught in business schools apply to traditional manufacturing based businesses. A lot of these underlying assumptions are invalid in the tech businesses.
2. Tech businesses require a deep understanding of what is possible with the current state of the art. This is requires a deep understanding of technology so that when there are fundamental changes to the landscape (which happens more frequently in tech) the company can adapt and stay relevant.

I think in a way yes. Since Larry Page and Sergey Brin have left to do Alphabet, nothing of value has been released. Quality seems to be also down while ads are way more agressive. I wouldn't buy GOOGL.

If you want to point out the kind of value professional managers bring to the table, please do so. Such an approach, in my opinion, makes the debate productive and moves the discussion forward.
