It's amazing that in an industry with so much money they don't have accepted norms of professionalism baked in.
Even for startups.
It's almost like VC land should have the rule, 'once the cheque is >$1M, you do this required 2-week long training' hopefully jam packed with essential goodies.
Most of our time in school is academically oriented, nothing in particular applied.
It's a young industry, as these things go. Just about a century, I think? And that's counting generously, not taking into account growing faster in headcount and budget than it can learn (sound familiar?). A lot of the serious "professions", I'm thinking of e.g. accounting, engineering, or medicine, have histories that go back several centuries, with rules written in blood.
Even for startups.

I find that very odd.
