• Because companies start with engineering, then move focus to marketing and finally move to finance, at which point what are they even doing anymore. Just let them die.

    • That’s why I like selling at startups. I find engineers I like, making something valuable and helpful. These days most work comes from eng friends or old bosses recruiting. I make their equity valuable. I excitedly create new engineering jobs as I create demand for them to keep up with deal flow and appreciate every hire. If I sold car parts, I’d know how many kids every motherfucker on the assembly line has. Too many MBAs in tech now, no regard for humans let alone the ones creating the thing they’re making a living on.

    • That’s just nonsense. There are plenty of competent nice people working there. You can say that about leadership if you like.
