On: Two Executives to Leave Uber, Adding to Departures

[alrs]

I was in an elevator once, and overheard this conversation:

"Yeah, computers don't do that yet. Don't worry, you just wait for awhile, and eventually they do. That's how technology works."

I saw red.

[__abc → alrs]

Why did you see red?

[alrs → __abc]

Because it shows a complete disregard for what engineers do, and reduces our work to something akin to fermentation.

[chopin → alrs]

That shows disregard to what yeast does, though...

[zelias → __abc]

Probably because that kind of statement doesn't pass all the tests

[amygdyl → alrs]

I have to say, I am so stealing that line.

I know exactly who will repeat it, seriously, deadpan as if Q.E.D. shown, if I just encourage them a little...

There is is something about that which smacks of borrowing the internet for a day, for a show and tell....

Was this actually said by someone on Uber's C-suite?
