During recorded "live" connection meeting with Stinky, Legg told a story about meeting with a gaming company and they told him "it's more important to have network consistency than being fast. Doesn't help you if the bits arrive in different inconsistent order because it makes for a jerky experience".
Legg said "we never expected to hear that. We can apply the same thing to our video products."
Now I know why AT&T streaming video products are so horrible.
Playing the good and the bad cop. somebody realized that employees hate Stankey and this demanded a more charismatic individual that has a less ego centric behavior. "we have to many mouths to feed", "i know more about tv than the tv industry." but at the end the good cup is still pushing the agenda of the bad one which is in power
This whole video felt like it should’ve occurred in 2010. Like I felt like I took a time machine at least a decade in the past hearing about the criticality of SaaS.
I’ve never felt so disheartened. How is this JUST NOW making sense to these guys??!
My team has been developing software based solutions for years. Nice to see someone higher up finally cares.
Much like DTV, Stank is irresponsibly late to the game and acts like that’s the employees fault.
None of the leaders has any technical competence whatsoever.
What does that tell you about how much they value those who do?
Wow, just Wow. This is what we have as inept "Leadership". I thought it was bad, after watching Jeremy not even know about packet delivery, I'm very concerned about the direction T is headed. Maybe Stankey can rehire some of the software developers he outsorced. Good luck with that Punk.
Sad chapter for T! Jeremy wants to re-invent the wheel. Hire another army of coders just to eliminate all of them within three years.
He claimed he met with gaming company because they are trying to find ways to leverage the AT&T network. It was part of his "build applications on top of the network" initiative and admitted that our network interfaces for others are horrible.
Didn't they invest a lot of money into a software defined network?
Oh, that's right, that didn't go anywhere either and I think they got rid of all the software developers that Legg now claims to need.
This is the mentality, the goal is consistent mediocrity.
The winning strategy is figure out how to operate the network at high speeds and how to replicate that across products and services. Oh yea, my bad, I forget where I work :(.
we sold the gamming side of AT&T
Cool story bruh, got any layoff rumors for us?
