It's amazing how well Slashdot's comment/karma system works, despite 10 years of frankly inexplicable web site management. Porting it to HN (without the crazy interface) might help with managing growth. In particular this comment is great: (http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1484856&cid=30505688 http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1484856&c...) Sometimes inspiring your employees is as simple as demonstrating that you share their pain, even if you can't share the workload. Now if this behavior becomes the norm, it doesn't matter what management does. People will soon be burnt out and will leave.
