@LeadpagesCares My site is completely down with a ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error. I've confirmed my DNS records haven't changed and `dig` output shows it resolving correctly. My signup page is down and I can't get a helpful response from your support team. Can you help?
One of the biggest reasons an organization isn't innovative is that managers looks to parse out who did what on a project.
This causes ownership anxiety and hoarding behavior, especially for ideas.
But an individual can only have the start of a good idea. It takes a team to make it whole. So, most ideas die.
Managers think they're doing the right thing—being fair and giving credit where credit is due. But it creates a toxic culture that snuffs out ideas before they even break the soil.
The side effect (ideas dying) is actually a counterfactual, which makes it hard to measure or even see. It's not a strict tradeoff or measurement of opportunity cost. There's no regret baked in ("Oh we should have done that") because the idea died—*poof*—in someone's head.
A strong performance culture needs to recognize that when you look back at the best ideas, it's actually hard to remember who came up with which parts, because they had so many contributions and evolved so much over time. And if a team produces great things based on creative ideas, there should be broad-based recognition.
I don't know how to change this type of culture. But if you feel like your organization is lacking innovation, perhaps consider the performance incentives that are baked in.
One thing it took me quite a while to understand is how few bits of information it's possible to reliably convey to a large number of people.
When I was at MS, I remember initially being surprised at how unnuanced their communication was, but it really makes sense in hindsight.
Hi! 👋
Lots of recruiter emails & questions.
Truthfully, I've been considering this decision for several weeks, and decided to use this opportunity to apply at >50< different organizations. Why? So I could see what the process is like for people these days.
I've learned a lot.
@dan_abramov I’ve been using JIT mode to handle this and while it’s a beta feature it’s worked flawlessly so far and speeds up the dev experience significantly.
