I should have thrown myself in front of a train, instead of throwing myself under a bus.

If you have a troubled project, and you add more people, you have a bigger troubled project.

It’s a common trap for project managers … and in fact some pretty high brow projects blew up because of this.

When you are called in front of the board, and they say:

“Hey, your project is late, we get it, it’s not your fault, but we have to deliver on the 1st of the month. - and so we’re giving you our 10 best men to get it done”

I can tell you, it takes a certain amount of testicular fortitude to say “That won’t work”. More than I had at the time , in fact.

It ludicrous that people allow antisemitism to enter this debate and we would do well to remember the cynicism of those who are prepared to weaponise and deploy the slur.

All you have to do is take any single protestor and look at what they were doing this time last year or the year before .

They were busy boycotting nestle, or marching for BLM, or facing down the alt right, entirely unconcerned with Israel or Jewish people.

They have been activated by Israel’s behaviour toward Gaza which is widely condemned by the United Nations and across the world

It’s pretty interesting to see the influence laid bare.

I’m anti hate , so I’m not going to argue too much with the principle - but the timing is magic in terms of giving Israel cover during while they are committing war crimes.

Please treat this as an explanation, and not an apology for big tech. If you work in tech, or are thinking about it, understand the rules of the game :

  1. First, a new skill goes hot - maybe functionally superior, may just be a trend. In tech, it’s always the new shiny.
  2. Demand for skills outstrips supply
  3. Salaries go up !
  4. Big tech flex, offer big money to hoover up the talent. Sometimes it’s for projects, sometimes it’s just to keep them out of the hands of competition, in case the trend becomes a standard
  5. Time passes
  6. Chasing big salaries, lots of people acquire the skill.
  7. Supply outstrips demand, skill becomes a commodity.
  8. Salaries come down
  9. Big Tech is still paying huge salaries, for skills that may have stopped trending, but at the very least - are now available at market at a much lower rate. If you include globalisation, it could be 30% of what they are paying.
  10. The high salary hires get cut, because there’s a new skill trending, or, the same skill is now available at much lower rate .
  11. Everyone is shocked !

This has been tech workers life cycle for at least 30 years, and I don’t see it changing

it’s not really about what i think, but it’s an enormous claim to make, based only on your general understanding of American history.

I wonder if you dont find it a bit dismissive, and disrepectful of the challenges faced by those born into the great depression ? or into world war ii ? or those conscripted and sent to die in Vietnam ?

Surely, anyone coming of age in those times, would be entitled to think “boy, the adults have really fucked shit up for us ?”

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek surprised by how much laying off 1,500 employees negatively affected the streaming giant’s operations (fortune.com)

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be....

No need to be quite so cloak and dagger mate, it fairly obviously to any one who pauses to think.

Super fun idea which I guess came after the Civ games. And certainly after computer programming.

As plausible as any hypothesis because we are wired that way.
