They went to college; they know that standard pizza will last a month in their dorm, and just extrapolated.
Mark is a good guy.
No. Anyone who would choose Unity as a user interface and distribute it to an unsuspecting world is NOT a good guy.
So, he's a manager (VP Engineering) and it appears he thinks he's not a very good engineering manager.
He's also currently trying to hire a director of engineering, to work under him. So, he is simultaneously saying "managers are incompetent" and "would you like a job as a manager?"
Take a look at apple or microsoft's website if you want some perfection.
You must be new here. You can't be *both* an Apple and a Microsoft fanboy; you must choose sides.
Looking at that mess they did neither.
If you were looking for excellence in engineering, I think the Corvette museum would be a bad place to start.
If they have an "idiot" as an "expert", this speaks a lot about them and they probably need your help quite a bit.
They may *need* your help; but who says they are going to listen to you? If the idiot in question has been there longer, or has more status, or has a higher pay grade - they may well value his/her word over yours. In any case, the solution is the same - tell management that the "expert" is a bleeping idiot. They'll either (a) believe you, and you're ahead of the game; or (b) get rid of you, in which case you were up against an impossible task, and getting out of there right now puts you ahead of the game. You win either way.

From a productivity standpoint,
If you're interested in productivity, you won't visit slashdot, beta or classic.
Yes. Verizon throttles lots of stuff.
The question, though, is: is Verizon slowing down *some* services more than others?
Yes, we know that Verizon's overall incompetence slows down the internet.... but that slows down all sites equally (which has always been legal). Here the contention is that they are slowing down Netflix *more* than other sites.
Bullshit. The US can pass as many laws it wants, and no matter how much it whines and cries about it, Banks in New Zealand cannot be compelled to comply
+1 insightful. I'm sure all the banks in China are completely ignoring any such stupid US mandate.
Summary of your story: Do your best, and you'll get screwed over by politics anyway.
To the original question: If you rewrite the code and make it a huge success, the original author will get all the credit. If you fail because the code is a stinking pile of crap, you'll be blamed, not him. Welcome to the corporate world.
Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
