Oh, sure. Everyone gets it, managers included (and sometimes, it helps them be a bit more sensitive). And anyone who works in the bowels of Big Enterprise is more critical than pg on the subject. We have the scars.<p>That said, I think the Silicon Valley startup community is profoundly ignorant about the enterprise, and its strengths as well as its weaknesses. There&#x27;s this perception that the enterprise sucks because people there are lazy and stupid. Not true! Much of the problem is just because the enterprise will tackle problems so large and overwhelming that they&#x27;re just really, really hard to win, hard to make sense. The problem with enterprise projects isn&#x27;t the result of laziness or stupidity. The problem is that this is the best that really smart, hardworking people can do at that scale.
