I always hate takes like this because it is based on a premise that employee performance is 100% employee responsibility and never changes during employment. These people ever talk about how they fail to elevate "B players" to an "A players" and need better management skills.
Snowflake CEO explains how B players can tank your company. This is especially true for early-stage startups because founders (including me) get confused by: "they are not bad enough to fire." Except for compromising on actual outcomes, you are setting a culture of mediocrity.

Performance is a shared responsibility between a manager and their reports. Effective managers get great results from all their employees. If you're employees are failing then YOU did something wrong. Hiring the wrong person is only one of a hundred things you could've mismanaged

"B players are tanking my company" No, you are tanking your company. Hire the right people at the right time, elevate your employees when they stumble, grow your teams into effective jelled groups, give people the tools to be successful and look inward when they aren't.

"I'm unable to effectively manage my teams, and hold no trust that my employees can complete their work without me standing over their shoulder watching them. This must be a problem with the employees!"
It’s time to admit that Remote Work doesn’t work. WFH Friday is a 4 day work week. Full WFH is a 2 day work week. Every interaction has to be scheduled, which means a lot of information-sharing doesn’t happen. Remote is a great lifestyle, not a way to build a great company.

I couldn't agree with this more. BotW and TotK both seem neat, but do not feel like Zelda. Really wish they were new IP and not Zelda.
hot take: Nintendo should have been bolder and turn Zelda TOTK into a whole new IP. I love Zelda, I love the idea behind TOTK, but that 👇 is not Zelda (to my grumpy millennial eyes at least : ). Why not give it its own identity?

I've also very much wanted to make this game. In fact, I'm pretty sure I will make this game, eventually. We should keep in touch.
If people want to see a 'more traditional' Zelda game then they should give me lots of money. I would love to make one. I'll put all the old stuff in: compasses, boss keys, that bit where you have to knock back the projectiles, you name it.

Imagine being this fucking oblivious to what has been happening in this country.
Joe Biden says the most dangerous threat to America is white supremacy. I mean, this is completely bonkers. Did anyone talk like this in the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s or even 2010’s? Of course not. Yet suddenly white supremacy is the BIGGEST THREAT in America? I don’t even think it’s one of the 50 biggest threats.

I found this on the Internet. It's TRUE, ALL OF IT!

Hearing the whispers of how the gatekeepers of SC2 view my content has been weird; They really sound childish. So what if I'm a Platinum player, I love this game and enjoy making videos. Get over it. You don't have to be a GM level player to make content.
