유겸애비

Marc Andreessen worked at IBM at the peak of their power. There were 12 layers of management between him as an intern and the CEO. He describes what that meant: if one layer lies to the layer above it, maybe that's okay. Two or three layers, the lies compound. Six layers, they really compound. Twelve layers... The CEO has absolutely no idea what's happening inside his own company. IBM even had a name for it. They called it the Big Gray Cloud, the cloud of men in gray suits that followed the CEO everywhere and made it physically impossible for him to ever talk to someone actually doing the work. "It was like a visit from the king. The king and the traveling court. A completely impervious bubble." That company controlled 80% of tech. Then it didn't. Elon looked at that model and built the opposite. The most dangerous thing in a large organization isn't incompetence. It's the distance between the truth and the top.
