but with that kind of role, contribution quality is rarely assed correctly, and at the same time, the sandwhich role between contributors, management, and customers, combined with a usually communication-savvy skillset can be extremely dangerous. even worse in impact than a highly visible „bad“ EVP/SVP.
like a text2data….
by a motorbike, learn golf, acquire a language, - but don’t bet your family on your personal dreams.
internet recipes are designed to be below 40min, if you look at the instructions. but for certain steps, developing the actual flavor would need to be longer - but „customers“ don’t want recipes that take longer.
so all produce a very limited taste range
even if some of the other mixed points might be valid, they are not aligned into a real argument.
But for real world deployment, we can have decentralized systems that have an ROI of 6yrs (Solar) and 10 yrs (Wind), - i think that’s the thing we should be doubling down on NOW. [https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/145C...]
we should do this again with solar panels.
a vast overproduction of solar energy would even allow for less distribution need, doing away with wasting time&energy on hydrogen and batteries.

I see too much buzzword-hype-cycle candidates, and not enough people who have really built something, including real world stuff like badly performing apis, broken edge cases, etc.
while substantially different in nature (defined by mission), both marines and army have the same principle: it’s your job to learn the job of your superior (because if they die, you need to be able to take over) - a principle that applies at every rank.

and good products without a mascot have been recommended in the past, just because they are good products.
b) bad products: it’s an extortion play and they will get what they can.
solution:
a) if you need their product buy it, and plan how to migrate away from it
b)buy their stock and hope that not much people plan how to migrate away.
my personal observation: because writing down „what“ is hard. Writing down „why“ is even harder.
