Well said! The role of an FDE was a groundbreaking one. It was the first opportunity I had to solve problems that I believed needed more attention for the growth of the company. You just aren’t able to take that passionate viewpoints in other environments. I appreciate having the opportunity to experience that within a growing company. I would still like to explore how a training I put together 10+ years ago could be solved by Palantir Gotham today. As a teacher, I am always looking to elevate a person’s comprehension and how they are empowered to ask questions. My time at Palantir definitely allowed me to do that.

Interesting to note that in 1992 MSFT had similar revenue to PLTR today but almost 12,000 employees

Excellent description of the essence of the role of the FDE at Palantir.

I've also always considered it the mark of sustainability of a model by the fact you openly disclose what you are doing, and the only way to replicate it would involve very hard and difficult work, which most people do not want to do.
