Episode notes

Sally Kohn: There is no real leadership in Silicon Valley. She says it's because of the way that we're putting on the individual engineering manager to produce these leaders, and they can't due to a system before. Kohn: If you cannot take a top five job at Google where you can affect everything, you were just going to go in and bend your head against the wall.

Jason and Eiso explore the implications of Mark Zuckerberg's plan to flatten Meta's management layers and examine the current ratio of engineers to managers, questioning if this balance is truly efficient or if it's simply a byproduct of Silicon Valley culture.
