      Management is the weakest link in any organisation.

      All they have to do is just listen to the smart people on their team and collect a big paycheque, take credit when work goes well and blame the staff when work goes bad.

      If they try to use their own ideas to run the business, this is what happens.

        In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.

            Fairly sure there are some decent societal goods in outcomes around medical research and engineering
