I know groupthink didn’t cause the SVB collapse alone, but it did lead to many otherwise very sophisticated founders being put at risk by taking their deal because “everyone does it”. As one lesson from this debacle, I think it’s useful to ask ourselves what are other areas of groupthink that leave us in the tech industry particularly vulnerable? E.g., as an OSS developer, I’ve used the MIT license for 10+ years because other devs I trust use it, but I don’t have any real reason why. What are other examples to be aware of?
