Oddbean new post about login | logout @ed709062 5X improvement near the top of the stack doesn’t feel like something to sneeze at outright, and your line is fair given the gauntlet thrown, and I don’t envy any of the engineers who had to actually cash the checks.
@25b1da2f As someone who's worked for Twitter, I'm familiar with having a leader who writes checks the company can't cash. I'm not exactly a fan of that, but one thing that I liked about Twitter was that it had a culture where people felt comfortable publicly calling Jack out on bad comments, e.g., if Jack made a comment like the ones from Jeff or Sam that I've quoted, I'd expect @85f21341 and others to publicly call him out on that and for Jack to take it well (at least while he was still CEO).
