Just look at the current state of Twitter if you want a further illustration of the issues with capricious feudal tech lords.

Interestingly not everybody seems to take away the same lession from what's happening at Twitter. I keep reading from people who say that finally now people can focus on what matters and are not allowed down by lazy people, yadda yadda. Some even claim that Twitter now works faster for them and is generally better.

How can we be objective about subjective things when we can't even be objective by objective things?

Executives paid bucketloads to come in and lead a Transformation™ can only dream about the empowerment of actually making changes that Musk is enjoying.

That job tends to be virtually impossible as companies launch a transformation then reject each individual change as "this is fine" or as a sacred cow.

If, to survive, you must change many things quickly, some decisions will be wrong, but that's why you iterate.
