4 个月I agree with you. While, all the developers and tech leaders can inculcate a startup mindset, however, its an uphill endeavor for the management. They are not ready to accept any risk-taking, failure and an experimentation attitudes because there is so much at stake when timelines are missed. In the present momentums in the world, I am not sure we can find any who is fully learned professional any technology, so a learning/adapt/growth mindset is a necessity, is what I think IMHO.
