View submission: Reddit Chief Engineer Bethanye Blount Quits After Less Than Two Months On the Job
You know this because you saw the source code? You know the workload of a chief engineer of a software company?
Seriously, you've gotten into a brand new job and figured out 'most of the things' within 2 months? All the shortcuts, workarounds, ins-and-outs of everything?
Rocket science is easy for some rocket scientists - or so I've read on some IAMAs here on Reddit, that doesn't mean they are intimately familiar with the particular Enterprise (or custom) software that a particular company uses when they first join it.

To be fair the code is all open source. And as an engineer myself, I could see delivering these promises as totally possible. Hell, anything is possible. But doing it at scale is really really hard.
