"actual execution" in the business world seems to be more and more synonymous with recklessly and incompetently fucking things up. See also: doge.

Shhh you’ll let the cat out of the bag, me and a whole crap ton of people put food on the table doing just that

they see, "actual execution", I see, "failed upwards in a ZIRP economy"

  • A lot of business basically just steal from their future selves in perpetuity until the interest they’ve accumulated is too great and they implode.

    It’s the GM and intel school of business. Constantly choose what makes money now, and avoid advancements and infrastructure. Wait now the competition is 20 years ahead? So you have 20 years worth of infrastructure to pay off, right now? Oh…

    Everyone is just faking it until the chicken inevitably comes homes to roost. Then they walk about from the explosion and go to another company and say “see? Look how much share holder value I made! Nevermind that the company got destroyed shortly after I left!”
