These tech companies are little more than high-tech nurseries for talentless overgrown babies.
Back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s at my former firm in Seattle, we represented a number of current and former Microsoftees. Many of them confused being in the right job at the right time with having business expertise. Most businesses they formed with their millions from stock options were failures.

One of our attorneys was fond of saying, if they hadn’t worked for Microsoft, they’d be dishing up Slurpees at 7-11.

That is obviously true for the social media and consumer focused companies, but in my experience, the companies that made business software were managed and staffed by adults. Where I worked, they were ruthless in removing weak performers.
