Traditional companies are losing because they mismanage software engineers An Article by Emma Watterson ewattwhere.substack.com Innovation is messy, and frankly Anti-Steve [Jobs] can’t figure out why you wouldn’t just tell people the right thing to build and skip all the trial and error that comes with innovation.
