SHOW NOTES:

SOMETIMES THINGS GROW AND IT’S FUN

We’re hiring! Launches! Everyone is a rock-star! Nobody cares about accountability during the good times, because growth hides all the flaws.

SOMETIMES GROWTH COMES FROM BEING EFFICIENT

Google added 25k people per year (2019-2021)
- Do less hiring (less interviews, less new hire-stuff, less “where is?”)
- Don’t put the burden on the employees to fix leadership ambitions
Google “Simplicity Sprints”
Amazon “Amazon Software Builder Experience” (ASBX)
20% more productive
33% do repetitive work
Is this good or bad for the concept of Platform Engineering
