Of course, not everyone agrees. "How many nails can we realistically drive into Star Wars's coffin before it's time to give up hope of resuscitation?" writes Clarisse Loughrey

These are the words of someone who never liked Star Wars to begin with, and wants it to die.

In reality Star Wars is a fine universe, and all it takes is one good story set in that universe to bring life to it. I'd like to see how Palpatine can truly be defeated (who is more the Sith ideology than a character).

Worth mentioning that the skillset required to get promoted is not the same as the skillset required to make your team effective.

Some CEOs try to align the two, but I've come to realize that other CEOs actually want sycophant employees to say sweet things to them. King Lear is real. I don't know how you can finish adolescence and still want that, but it's a massive goal of a lot of CEOs.

There are two types of managers. Low level managers who are just trying to take care of their team, and managers who are trying to climb the ladder.

The managers who are trying to climb the ladder are WORSE than nothing, because they will actively slow their employees down so they can hire more people below them. Ever have a useless meeting that could have been an email? Now you know why, a manager who is worse than nothing.

From the article:

calling the Cybercab the “most efficient EV ever” is technically accurate, but it’s a bit like comparing a motorcycle’s fuel economy to a sedan’s. The Cybercab is a purpose-built, two-seat autonomous pod with no driver controls. No steering column, no pedal assembly — all of that weight and complexity is gone. Tesla designed a teardrop-shaped body that narrows significantly at the rear, optimized purely for aerodynamics rather than rear passenger comfort or cargo space.

Presumably it's aimed at being a Driverless Taxi, not a consumer car.

The article contains this gem:

"Meanwhile, the program has been hit by a leadership exodus, with three senior leaders departing since February."

That's a good thing. If their top engineers were leaving, that would be a bad thing. When management leaves, the engineers become more efficient.

Embrace the Tao.

But when told this, the programmer once more refused, saying, "I exist so that I can program. If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste everyone's time. Can I go now? I have a program that I am working on."
