Tech stopped being interesting to me when I realized that building a widget isn't hard, it's getting 30 people to build a widget that's hard. Yet the way those 30 people are organized is so shitty it's as if nobody had ever done it before.

I've worked with so many truly incompetent and stupid teams and organizations, that have millions to billions of dollars. Sometimes I wonder if I've just hallucinated all the books and training I've taken that explain the basic business and industry concepts most people should know. And I wonder how it is an IC could seem to know how things should be working while seemingly nobody else does.

Then I go back to my 1/30th of the widget and wait for lunch time.
