squidgee posted:Dudes a good manager and just mindfucked Richard into letting him on board. Nothing about that was him being particularly chill, it was all him knowing that going in guns blazing was the wrong move, and that he needs Richard on board to make the company work and that Richard won't get on board unless he thinks it's his idea in the first place. Same deal with Erlich: there's no way that he's actually a fan of Erlich and Aviato. Haha, the guy was pretty much textbook portraying what BMA's get taught in leadership class about conflict resolution and negotiation.

Omne posted:He was also teaching them SCRUM, so maybe he's more of a general business guy? Or he knows whatever the show needs him to SCRUM is project development which falls under innovation management. What came to my mind was pivoting which is more of strategy consulting thing. Nevertheless, clearly he majored in being the guy who fucks. EDIT: Maybe it's Mergers & Acquisitions? That would explain why he's well versed in hiring practices, strategy and project development.

Even though she was the only named one (and I think the other gaggle of programmers was shown exactly once), she was on the chopping block. Didn't they just up and leave when it became apparent that they couldn't afford their wages?

Greatbacon posted:Pied piper is a loving compression algorithm, saving space (and bandwidth) is what it was designed to do. No, it's main advantage is that it's lossless at previously unseen size. For a backup I'm not seeing how that would be as big a deal as in transmission of data.

A client base that is worthless under the whatsapp service! Facebook Messenger is a money sink for similiar reasons but that service at least has a network externality effect with Facebook itself which can lead to revenue.
