I remember reading a blog post some months ago here from a former AirBnb employee where they talked about how some senior manager in the company wrote an incredibly detailed spec for a CRUD feature which required them to invent a datatype because they insisted on using no more than N bytes to store some inconsequential field. There was also a description of how the author had to crawl through a parking garage to escape a meeting wherein he insisted that nobody was allowed to leave.

I feel like there is no accountability for these clowns. They'll inevitably switch jobs and ruin the work lives of so many developers with their stupidity. There is a culture of not wanting to name your abuser for some reason. It's weird.
