hmm I mean yes but

author mentions doing science because 'scala is slower than java' -- they're talking about in prod, but build times are also slower. why not just use better tools?

heard a one liner once about react I think which was like 'FB is hiring rocket scientists to get to par with 90s web performance'

twitter is a cool site but it isn't curing cancer, it isn't feeding people, it's solving rails bugs caused by a celeb selfie during the grammies.

is the subtext here 'hiring rocket scientists in organizational sea caves because you can't hire rocket scientists to run the company and impose good practices top down'
