    There goes the neighbourhood

    JP Rangaswami is a complete disaster to the morale of those under him. He has an astonishing ability to talk stream-of-consciousness garbage for SO LONG that your eyes go grey and your brain melts so you just give up arguing.

    The question is what?

    Has he ever done?

    What is the contribution?

    What was delivered? I don't mean bought, rebadged, sold by someone else.

    I mean created, developed, delivered, sold by you.

    What?
