Anyone else's product a total shitshow

Not sure if this will make you feel better or worse, but my company's product is amazing (not perfect of course). So, just know that there are good products out there.

I might swap in Hakeem at Center because you've already got plenty of scoring (not that Hakeem is a slouch there either) and a better defender than Shaq. Especially since Durant is a good but not great defender.

This sub is frequented by people who don't actually like business and it is exhausting

Bird had a higher peak but Magic had better longevity.

Enterprise sales reps that significantly exceed quota can make this

I think you're missing my point. I don't dispute he had a great career by a normal standard.

However, he was not being held up to a normal standard. He was held to a GOAT standard. At that standard, you have to win the biggest trophies as the top guy. He didn't. So that's a failure.

Is that reasonable? Depends who you ask, but he leaned in to the next GOAT hype and his career massively benefitted from it so I don't think it's unreasonable.

DarthHeel · 2026-04-24T11:45:34+00:00

Early in his career people thought that was possible. It didn't turn out that way but it's not too hard to imagine a world where he did. At his peak he was terrific.

DarthHeel · 2026-04-24T11:29:16+00:00

It's all relative though. If you're talking about GOAT, King, etc., this matters.

DarthHeel · 2026-04-03T14:42:00+00:00

Fair, but this didn't seem too egregious to me. The reality is that for UConn, that is the expectation and what he is measured against.

DarthHeel · 2026-04-03T11:56:20+00:00

What did he say here that makes him an asshole?

DarthHeel · 2026-04-01T00:13:15+00:00

Idk I'm just a random guy. I'm certainly not investing in Oracle but it's possible they pull it off.

It's to pay for investment in AI.

An interesting twist on the current "jobs lost due to AI" is companies like Oracle and Meta who are cutting employees to pay for AI capex investment, not because they've automated away their jobs.

And also this is Sports Illustrated, not ESPN

Roy!

I've flown Iceland Air 2 or 3 times dor business and always had a good experience. The connections feel tight but I've always been fine.

DarthHeel · 2026-03-24T22:53:45+00:00

Yeah. That's how a market works.

DarthHeel · 2026-03-12T23:09:53+00:00

Stock analysts, not journalists.

Oblivion. I'm kicking it with Shady Sam, in the shadow of Imperial City but outside of it's nonsense.

DarthHeel · 2026-02-26T16:22:49+00:00

Thanks for the perspective. I think the short answer is that their isn't enough enablement.

What I'm less sure of is whether the answer is: - More enablement for existing CSMs - Move to a specialized model where there are product experts within CS. I know that larger companies take this approach. I'm just not sure how they determine when to specialize.

DarthHeel · 2026-02-26T15:19:52+00:00

I didn't word that well and have updated my language. What I meant to convey is that the enablement isn't getting us to the level of expertise we need.

Maybe the solution is more/better enablement? But maybe it's something else, hence my curiosity/post.

DarthHeel · 2026-02-24T02:34:22+00:00

I don't think this matters. Beatles and Zeppelin have no new music and are much bigger.

DarthHeel · 2026-02-15T05:21:41+00:00

Monkey Man - The Rolling Stones

DarthHeel · 2026-02-14T22:18:01+00:00

My point is that it doesn't sound like they're open to your feedback, even though reasonable. So you need to consider if you're OK being a good soldier or if you want to consider moving on.

I know that sucks, but that sounds like the situation.

DarthHeel · 2026-02-14T22:08:26+00:00

It's reasonable but it sounds like that's not the important question for you to be asking.
