- The last year of our existence was an episode of Silicon Valley and those are way more fun to watch than to live through - That culture of transparency means that when someone's irritated, they will definitely let you and everyone else know about it - ultimately that's for the best, it keeps things from festering, but you gotta brace yourself - ML is fairly new and the way we approach ML is fairly new, and it's hard to educate people on one new thing wrapped in another new thing - Diversity is still a lot weaker than I would like to see, but the company and specific leaders in the company are being intentional about improving that; women in particular are relatively well represented, particularly in positions of power (and not just the usual two positions of power reserved for women)
