       | I wanted to post, as it had interesting details for people
       | working on software generally:
       | 
       | - Trying to employ mostly junior engineers
       | 
       | - Not allowing the new team to talk to the KSP 1 developers
       | 
       | - Not paying enough to keep senior engineers
       | 
       | - Re-using old codebase and coding themselves in the corner and
       | couldn't fix bugs that old game had
       | 
       | Re-using old codebase wouldn't necessarily be bad if they were
       | familiar with it, but from what I understood nobody was. They
       | weren't able to move fast with it.
       | 
       | The list probably goes on, and I didn't take notes, but I found
       | it interesting.
