Would be nice to fix the performance reviews so we don't end up in a arms race of creating bloat until it becomes so unproductive it kills the host.

Over-fitting proxy measures is one of the scourges of modernity.

The only silver lining is if it becomes so wide spread and easy it loses the value of seeming sophisticated and thorough.

Maybe we should let/encourage this to happen. Maybe letting bloated zombie-like organisations bloat themselves to death would thin the herd somewhat, to make space for organisations that are less “broken”.

"But at what price?" is probably the right question here, and that'd be a case by case basis thing. ;)

All FAANG/MAGMA dying is a bonus. The cherry on top. Net positive for humanity. A best case scenario.

I am on the mind that every organization should eventually die before it becomes a monster. I am also not a huge fan of inheritance for the same reason.
