More of a thing, but it's mostly DevOps.

Because sometimes all they're after is for slideware on GenAI. The people they fired encapsulated a spirit of innovation that doesn't fit the operating model and therefore is of no value to them.

Is there anything that signals this person is high-value?

Are there any roles or departments, relevant to this audience, that are particularly safe?

I imagine you cut mostly from loss-centres as with profit centres you can tell who is making and who isn't, right?

Who hires and who do you present your recommendations to, what are their decision criteria?

Very generous of you to do this. I really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Grammar and manners

Sounds like you are talking from experience. Are you storage specialist, how did you learn so much about this?

Credit Suisse is a top 50 bank while SVB doesnt even make the top 100. SVB dissapearing leads to a lack of choice. Credit Suisse may pose a genuine global systemic risk.

Ironic that the author calls PMs "not very smart at making product decisions" while the author is not smart enough to understand the role of sales or product.

Also, innovation is not an end in itself. The question is do, PMs add value?

The author is right that the founder is the best product manager and should only handover to a dedicated PM once the business is ready to scale.

No, but you misunderstood the audience for an engineering strategy, namely other c-level execs.

User 'jschveibinz' describes it well.

Comparing what happened to FTX to a tiny leak in a gas tank due to a money saving measure by von Braun to balance the budget of the Apollo 11 mission, which results in a catastrophic failure and erroneously puts in question the ambition and mission to visit the moon and quantitative methods employed, is completely asinine.

This underplays what happened. FTX implosion appears to be due to fraud, lack of controls within the organisation and puts in question the judgement of the EA community, VCs, auditors, media.

The lessons to draw are not technical in nature. To continue the author's analogy: Wehrner von Brau as an individuap, construction and inspection procedures, or security culture at Nasa. They are instead fundamental. And would put in question all of NASA, the ecosystem (universities, suppliers), funders like the Congress and the president , and any oversight agencies.

If the what we've learnt so far is confirmed, then a Sequoia investment and its due diligence failed, trust in the EA community is undermined as it is not particularly ethical or rational.
