I am an engineer at Cruise. Our team is surprisingly weak. Particularly the early engineers (Rusty, Elliot, Juan, etc.) What we really need is better technical management to point the team in the right direction.
Are you making particular colleagues of yours who you think are bad?
We're building the wrong thing here at Cruise. The problem is partly that incompetent engineers are influential within the organization. The team is much weaker than outsiders believe and we're lacking competent big-picture technical direction.
