When the Assembly Line Meets the Algorithm
Picture a developer at a Fortune 500 company who can't even compile code on her laptop. Sounds absurd, right? Yet this is precisely the reality at countless established corporations today. Parts Unlimited, a century-old auto parts retailer, has become so tangled in its own bureaucracy that talented engineers spend weeks just getting access to their own code. Meanwhile, twelve-year-olds in coding clubs can build and deploy apps in minutes. This jarring disconnect sits at the heart of Gene Kim's The Unicorn Project-a story that has become required reading at companies from Microsoft to Amazon, not because it's fiction, but because it's uncomfortably real. What unfolds is a blueprint for how legacy companies can rediscover their innovative spirit without abandoning what made them successful in the first place.
