The Cult of Microsoft
www.wheresyoured.at
Soundtrack: EL-P - Flyentology At the core of Microsoft, a three-trillion-dollar hardware and software company, lies a kind of social poison — an ill-defined, cult-like pseudo-scientific concept called 'The Growth Mindset" that drives company decision-making in everything from how products are sold, to how your on-the-job performance is judged.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

          Being so aggressively mid will frequently get you the mean.

          Edit: Before you pedantically argue that the median != mean, I’d suggest that your posts plainly fall on the normal curve because they are all typically boring, standard deviations.
