everyone: 'move fast and break things' mentality doesn't exist in traditional engineering disciplines because people would die

boeing: hey

@chrisisgr8 to also point out, I'd bet a ton that this is more management bullshit just like the way they attached the bigger engines to the 737 MAX and fixed it by effectively *duct taping* a flight management system onto the thing which led to those two crashes.

It's all rooted in Boeing being allowed to gobble up every aerospace manufacturer in the USA and inheriting all of their dog shit management toxicity. Then ignoring the workers... it's such a clusterfuck at this point.

All of this...

@chrisisgr8 and they're not even really moving fast. They're slower than they've ever been and fumbling like the monopolist entity that they are now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@adron oh, they're just moving fast on the things the c level can fit in their heads (ship planes fast! promise the pilots won't need retraining because it would just be cooler that way! cut "costs"!)

Public

@chrisisgr8 ha, yeah, valid point!

@chrisisgr8 @adron Boeing is a company that generates shareholder value, not build planes.

Sure, they will do some plane building, but only insofar as it doesn't interfere with their primary goal.

Public

@dascandy42 @chrisisgr8 unfortunately, a valid point. They do, when they focus, as the companies they’ve gobbled up, build exceptionally good planes. However this current batch and that shareholder conflict is starting to show.
