AI Insights:
Affirm runs on the fuel of honest financial products and the slightly less honest fuel of unlimited PTO nobody fully uses. Engineers get genuine ownership and great wallets, but also get to enjoy reorgs, ghost PIPs, and a CI/CD pipeline that ages you in dog years. Leadership loves Max, Max loves the mission, and everyone else is left guessing what the strategy is this quarter. It is a comfortable place to coast and a frustrating place to sprint, which about sums up BNPL itself.
