That's true. And it is currently one of the main reason why startups are so efficient compared to MegaCorps.

In small companies, it takes few engineers voicing out ' this is bullshit ' to stop a disaster.

In large corps, it takes 2y, 10M USD and a team in burnout to reach the same result.

And the main reason is the usual source of all sins: *Politics*.
