Here's a true fact: nobody hates meetings.

What people hate are badly run, inefficient and unnecessary meetings. They hate working under untrained, undisciplined managers.

Meetings should be short, sharp and essential, but you can go a whole career in tech without ever experiencing that.

@joshin4colours Yeah, I've heard the same thing. I think it's mostly because money, laws and guns are pretty much what runs the engines of capital but it's possibly revealing that those institutions recognize the critical importance of organizing people effectively.
