It’s almost as if a group of 80,000 dynamic humans in a wild uncharted environment might mean decisions are made that have to be re-evaluated in a year!

And then how many years in a row after that can you keep blaming the single re-evaluated decision?

4.

Or we could acknowledge that everyone is pathfinding.

I was offered $1.15m a year to work there back in 2022. That's why.

and you said no?

they interviewed me for a generic role and placed me on Reality Labs, and I had a hunch it would go down swiftly (org was decimated 9 months later) so I didn't go.

None of the important projects or FANGs build with frameworks like that, sorry. Project management frameworks are all larp and mostly used by slow moving firms from the past.

Right, those frameworks aren't a good fit for sophisticated tech companies. They're targeted towards enterprises where software is just one component of a larger strategy. Sometimes moving slower is a better way to create shareholder value.

Press x to doubt. Moving slower is never the better way to create shareholder value unless you’re implying a million other things that are going wrong in your definition of moving faster.

“Move fast with stable infrastructure” as they say.
