I hope everyone’s watching and learning from these things. We’ve been privy to a handful of terrible, boneheaded business screwups this year, and you can hone yoru skills by paying attention to what they’re doing. This whole fishtank thing is EXACTLY why there’s a time to pay real, hard, painful money to a seasoned professional.
At work, we had a similar issue w/ brass refusing to pay someone intelligent. THe end result is that they failed to make systems correctly, causing a cascade of expensive screwups we’re only just getting over months after the initial crash.
It’s all well and good when sam thought he could trust the smart 23 yo dude with making a robust website for 60,000 active viewers for all of $1,200 a month….in practice? Well, should’ve sprung for someone with a decade of experience and a 2-page resume
