This is the most abstract subtweet ever. I love it.

Social commentary doesn't have to be a subtweet! If it only applied to an identifiable individual it isn't important enough to say.

I suspect there's competency cascades in individual businesses/depts of govs. Competent people like working alongside competent people (and dislike [...]). If makeup changes due to a few bad hires or great people exiting, you may get an inflection that's hard to recover from.

In biz this is fine because new companies are created or destroyed all the time (and facilitating that seems to be a great good) It's really unfortunate that we don't have good mechanisms to let govs or at least departments 'die' and be reborn.

How would you define competence? In some roles I’d preference conscientiousness over competence.
