Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Where's Ed been? Corporate philosophies are a dime a dozen in tech and they're always just vague enough to use as a justification for management to do whatever they were already planning on doing.
Microsoft's growth mindset is no more problematic than Amazon's leadership principles or any of the other corporate pillars we inevitably need to phrase our accomplishments around in order to get hired/promoted. They're all the same pseudoscientific MBA BS that's been permeating the industry for years.
This article could have been written about just about any large tech company with the same concerns and conclusions.
But it was written about Microsoft specifically. What's your point?
It's written about Microsoft as if this is their unique dysfunction instead of an industry-wide dysfunction. It feels out of touch and lacking the insight I typically enjoy from this newsletter.
what a limp comment you have made. The post contains a treasure trove of insider information and specifics that paint a picture that is dire even to a jaded tech worker.
