    Oof.

    “The COVID-19 pandemic made team stability difficult,”

    Makes me suspect they were woefully behind the rest of the field in development practices. My team, and many others, gained productivity when all the wasteful manager ego stroking in-person meetings stopped.

    Alternately, it tells us they rely on a weird dev kit with a lot of esoteric hardware. Though I would still call that out as being super out of date. Nothing is particularly hard to emulate today, for teams that prioritize having rebuildable test environmenta.

    Just wild.

    Bummer about the layoffs. Probably won’t fix their agility problem, though.
