This is valuable to know exactly what to avoid when building products at scale. Good lessons here, painful journey but a lot of the issues were self inflicted by corporate politics getting in the way of.efficient execution.

This team obviously did not avoid the values oasis, because this presentation is full of water. To summarize, there are misalignments among teams, so we talk. Un-be-lie-va-ble! So new! So refreshing! Thanks for wasting my time, corporate scam.

Org politics story. This is why GitHub looks outdated.
