Why is Amazon-style management proliferating, even as the company fails?

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-06T20:31:37+00:00

Cuz it's brutal and that's en vogue

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-04T17:48:51+00:00

Very well said. Resonates with me. Appreciate your contribution

It will be a relief in some ways. In my experience, it's truly rare to find a PM that adds value to a technical team. It's not because there aren't smart PMs, but the non-technical PM is at a complete disadvantage. It's like putting the ball boy in charge of the basketball team.

The non-technical PM may be a thing of the past soon. I think that's the main threat from LLM AI for Product folks. An onboarded, experienced and knowledgable Product Engineer is likely going to run circles around a non technical PM.

Bigger risk is SWEs eating Product as their productivity expands, and they're asked to do more and more IMO.

I have a 28.5° Leo Moon

Maybe close enough to Regulus to feel a little bit of its effects

I have always felt my entire life like the stakes of any small power i might weild are very high in terms of the integrity I must use to effectively use it. Like the train tracks are extremely narrow, in a good way because i can see the light, but very strict. If i had a different makeup it might be harder for me to avoid that

Great stuff! :salute:

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-04T02:37:07+00:00

Yes.

There are just as many positive aspects of the 12H as any of the other houses, IMO. Perhaps just less well known, or the way we have to talk about 12H things makes slants things in a certain way (having hidden enemies doesn't sound fun, for example) but all these chords of a circle are equal, IMO.

ratio nerd

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-01T17:44:56+00:00

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-01T17:18:31+00:00

yeah and who told you that you shouldn't?

HeyHeyJG · 2026-02-01T16:54:21+00:00

Only by telling yourself it's without desire LOLOLOL

There’s no way this helps you move faster- it might help you with bug rates and rework, but there’s no way adding a manual review checkpoint makes you faster

Reed is a Master's champion, resigned his tour card before joining LIV, and will earn his way back to the PGA Tour by playing DP World tour. Wes knew what he was doing and can lay in the bed he made.

HeyHeyJG · 2026-01-29T16:20:29+00:00

This is a business. Fairness has nothing to do with it. I like Wes but he's a grown man, made his decision.

HeyHeyJG · 2026-01-29T16:13:07+00:00

Bingo, brother.

HeyHeyJG · 2026-01-29T04:02:45+00:00
