’Or, worst of all, executives lose their way and stop enforcing any value system at all. Then the value system reverts to the default: politics and backstabbing. It wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't so hopelessly inefficient. […] Nobody would ever pick a value like “don't respect your co-workers.” Respecting your co-workers is just basic civility. By the time you have to write it down, you've already lost.’

Really striking how whether or not to actually count the votes is suddently a partisan issue in what is supposedly a united democratic republic.

They might not be a mustache-twirling villain, but they view everything as transactional and don’t understand why you don’t as well. They’ll make decisions to benefit themselves and tell you whatever they have to to get you to go along.
Companies as entities are sociopathic, because the people acting in them collectively can too easily set aside their ethics. Companies that are directly controlled by sociopaths are even worse.
“Imagine an America without racism. The mere thought of that brings tears to my eyes, because it feels so far out of reach.”

This is so important. In so many organizations, "niceness" — in the sense of superficial politeness and positivity — operates as cover for incompetence, a lack of emotional intelligence, and a total inability to be genuinely accountable for harmful choices or bad leadership. https://twitter.com/iSmashFizzle/status/1268505039548579840

Microsoft Research came up with an A.I. model to predict the number of bugs in a code base and the top predictors in order of accuracy were
- company org structure
- code churn
- code complexity
- dependencies
- code coverage
Anyone else not surprised?
