Thread regarding VMware layoffs

Genius at work

From

Here is our genius CTO:

“He’s also trying to encourage VMware to do more “platform thinking” as it innovates, because today the company’s business units work on their own products on their own timelines and aim to ready products for release as soon as practicable.

That approach means different teams end up creating different implementations and interfaces for the same kinds of features. Colbert used logging as an example, saying it’s possible different VMware engineering teams could devise their own approach for managing logs.”

Uh-huh, so you need a billion dollars more in R&D because you can’t get your product teams to log in a consistent manner. That is some innovative out of the box thinking!

Amazing, simply amazing.

Good riddance to these id--ts!!!

Logging, for Fs sake.

I heard that about $10 million a year is wasted on spaces vs tabs!

If anyone for senior leadership is reading, has Kit’s mom solved his logging problem?

Maybe Kit’s children can solve his Python version problem.

That is the point. Bad leadership.

Why didn't this happen without Broadcom?
