Could Blue Origin become like IBM, with lots of top talent leaving to provide engineering and management experience to all the innovative computer startups that weren’t IBM?
I haven’t noticed that Blue Origin has been all that innovative. I think it’s SpaceX that’s been providing that pipeline.
Well neither was IBM. ^_^
Due to their endless meetings (I’ve spent weeks in an IBM meeting room dubbed “the cone of silence”), and libraries of binders full of accumulated management rules, IBM was the Brontosaurus of the PC revolution. But they hired and trained huge numbers of engineers and managers who left Big Blue and went to work for all the other companies because they got sick of how IBM did things, or rather, how IBM seemed incapable of doing anything due to layers and layers of grey haired risk-averse management.
Not as dramatic as when Matt Damon did it in The Martian.
