This meme is the most those people have ever actually contributed to society as a whole.

What are you talking about? David kicked kinda good while having hair, and Victoria was in a band called the Spice Girls despite being a set square haunted by the ghost of a rice cracker.

Haunted by the ghost of a rice cracker

That’s just perfect imagery.

More than likely, if it’s a publicly traded company, it’s the shareholders and the board of directors.

The board’s job is to hire the CEO and demand good value for shareholders. The CEO’s job is to make the big decisions to achieve that goal quickly and then usually leave before their short term thinking falls apart. The manager’s job is to enforce whatever decisions the CEO makes, even if it is stupid or cruel. And the employee’s job is to suffer so that each layer above can look good to the layer above them.

Not to say there’s no good people in the system. My manager for most of my time there was actually a good manager who felt that his primary job was to deflect away the shit that rolled down from above so we could focus on our work, but then he got laid off along with half my coworkers.

I do miss writing software, but I really don’t miss working in the corporate world.

My favorite is menstruation calendars with friend lists. My least favorite is when my gynecologist wants to hang out only a week out of the month.

Please tell me this is a real world example because that’s hilariously awful.

God, I hope it’s not real. But it’s the only way to sell more analytics from a period app and thus an eventuality.

CEOs changed the game completely after one of them played spiderman 2.
warning: the story might change the way you think how some developers are treated across the world.
for a full documentary, see this YouTube video(in German, but you can turn on the subtitles)

I don’t know if the game is the best example of busineses making top-down design decisions, since that game was an obvious scam from the start.

you’re right. perhaps a better example would be YouTube suggesting videos by colour?

Not sure why? Just because you don’t use or understand a feature, it does not mean nobody else wants it? Or do you have more insight into that?

I never saw that, that’s legitimately funny. I’d love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.
