'How to Navigate Disasters in Tech (Part 1)' by OmegaStormX technology fintech
To say that the Tech & Finance industries are undergoing some challenges would be an understatement. We are facing mounting pressure on all sides with supply chain issues, the Energy Crunch, a global talent shortage and war in Europe to name but a few.
Yet, we aren't exactly making it any easier on ourselves, from Alexa telling a 10-year old girl to touch a live plug with a penny - to regulatory breaches from Uber test-driving autonomous cars without state permission, running 6 red lights as a result. Finance hasn’t been spared the controversy either, multiple institutions have lost significant wealth from poorly deployed AI, and there has also been colossal investment wastage from backing the wrong AI sectors.So what's going on here? Is it the leadership? Are the staff lacking? Maybe it's just external factors like market conditions to blame? These reasons are all valid, but they are merely symptoms of the underlying cause which can be traced back to aTable - Fintech Vs Enterprise hiring tendencies during Covid.during the first downtick but they decided it would be a good idea to keep those new projects rolling in.. Fintechs thought it would be a good idea to cut their staff and transfer all the responsibilities over to a single rockstarEnterprises were a bit more sophisticated in their approach, they stillbut they decided to renew toxic service agreements that they had planned to terminate and they filled in the gaps of fired staff with new tooling automation. Surprise surprise their strategies backfired, within a matter of months when things began to settle the companies found they could no longer meet their project targets. HR immediately scampered back into recruitment drive, phoning up staff they fired just 10 months ago,This blog and my associated talk can be thought of as taking Simon Sinek's infinite game philosophy and peppering it with real-world case examples. This is a classic act of balancing the books via mass layoffs, a redundant strategy from the 80s and 90s when the economy was undergoing the boom years. Today all this has done is to make a disloyal workforce even more disgruntled and untrusting.Sometimes the simple answer is the correct one. If companies place longer-term strategic value on their staff ahead of pleasing the board with short-term quarterly profits, they can maintain a more stable and resilient business., I discuss the rise of bad leaders in tech and discuss some shameful examples.where they were caught using special software to get around emissions regulations? Well, the CEO at the time Michael Horn blamed a couple of developers for the whole thing calling them “rogue employees”. Those who may be in leadership positions know, even if that was the truth , as a leader it is your role to take responsibility and shield your employees as best as possible, it’s why they get paid the big bucks! Michael Horn certainly isn’t the only leader blaming others around him, Tim Armstrong from AOL also threw two employees under the bus in an announcement to staff over anwho is the #5 most followed developer on GitHub out of 32 million registered accounts. In the early days of modern ML, Siraj had made a name for himself by producing consistent, high-quality AI content and showcasing it on YouTube. People were curious,It turned out that he plagiarised them all. He would do videos likewhich was 100% copied code from other on GitHub. He only got stopped after the open source community finally mobilised and the number of accusations grew too big to ignore. It didn’t stop there, he released paid ‘high-quality courses’ with promises that he failed to deliver, including the promise of certain high named teachers who did not turn up, content that was not taught and special mentoring services that were not given. To make it worse, thousands claimed their money back with very few of them ever seeing that $500 return to their bank account, I was one of them. Again, Siraj is not the only one playing this game. There have been shameful scandals with more recent Tech bloggers and YouTubers such as theIt’s not just leaders and influencers that are rocking the boat, in part 2 I will cover some more whoppers by showing you what negligence in Data, Architecture and business looks like.
