I mean, the special team existed, and people were paid, but I bet the vast majority of the work did nothing of consequence.

All this "caution" is just people trying really hard to be the smartest person in the room.


It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. The work they did did get some very minor perf gains. But there was a fundamental limit due to decisions made early on (flagged, but ignored)

Youre the nay sayer arent you?

it wasn't just me. And whatever problems we anticipated actually did happen. I got off that team, my colleague was stuck on it for the rest of my time there.
