- stackskipton 2y agoOne did, two did not. None of due to engineering. Engineering rarely matters unfortunately but ability to weave a story and sell that story.
- apeescape 2y agoFair point about the importance of storytelling, but I wouldn't say "engineering rarely matters" in the tech industry. Compelling vision can mask those problems for a long while, but at some point the wheels will fall off if engineers can't deliver.
