It's more than possible, it's expected. While all of these things do happen, they are preventable and should not be treated as excusable, people need to be held accountable and systems / processes need to be put in place to ensure that these things don't reoccur.

Came here to post something similar. Why jump through all these hoops to unfuck some inherently fucked system.

It's a bunch of work and time and effort to reverse engineer it just to get back to the point of still having a piece of shit legacy system.

Honestly this is effectively natural selection at play for businesses. They put themselves in this situation, if it dies and destroys the business ... good fucking riddance, the people who let this situation occur need to fail hard, it's the only way they will ever learn.

Just walk up to the machine and plug in a USB kill for 2 seconds, remove it, and get on with your life.

I agree about having fewer workers stacked with upgrades seems to be the "meta" but I found that the upgrades don't seem to stack linearly. For example, one Dev with 51x mechanical keyboards is not significantly faster than 2x Devs with 1x mech. keyboards each, and costs orders of magnitude more $.

For the Observation Training, your worker seems to work X tasks in a row when you manually click them to assign a task, where X is their "Observation Training" level.

So that automates their work if you assign it to them manually.

The self-starter training seems to take effect when you've not manually assigned a task to them. They will search for a single task to complete X times in a row, with a slight delay between each task, where X is equal to their "Self-Starter Training" level.

When their tasks are started automatically via this skill, the "Observation training" seems to be ignored.

Reading this scares me to the point I want to wear a Surgical Mask everywhere like I'm in a Tokyo subway station.

I also just typed in a non-existent gmail address and it worked.

My first thought is wondering what data FB hopes to acquire from making this tool available.

Is there a FF version tho?

Re: the title - How could it be MORE beneficial than we think? Who thinks that literally saving the world is anything less than highly beneficial?

I've been through an acquisition in the past where the purchasing company told us that we'd remain independent and that "we like what you're doing, that's why we purchased the company, we don't want to change anything". This was true for roughly 6 months, then sweeping business and cultural changes happened.

Do you have any assurances that what you've been told, regarding independence will remain true? If so, are those assurances any more concrete than the initial promise of independence?

Not trying to be negative, but telling a company that's been acquired that things will stay the same, seems to be one of the oldest corporate lies in the book.

Thoughts? Thanks for your post.
