I know there are quite a few Yahoo!s in silk list. I'd like to hear
their views on Paul Graham's views:
Not from yahoo. But my view of the meltdown was too many divisions
operating like little tin gods their own way, with little or no central
coordination / control, different policies often at cross purposes etc
Its not a question of hiring bad programmers at all. The easy money he
points out did help build some inertia as long as the dollars were flowing,
and the multiple little tin gods reinventing each others wheels and doing
their own things contributed much more extensively.
Grahams startup became yahoo stores as I recall, which was a spectacular
turkey all by itself.
