> There is a common flawed view that if you can focus on hiring the best people then you won't have problems with performance. I think, more specifically, there is a common flawed view that hiring the best engineers means you can ignore management and have them "self-organize". Related to this is the false idea that a room full of really smart people don't need dirty things like "process". Nearly every time I get someone to give me a concrete example of why a false positive is dangerous I find a management flaw that is the root cause of the damage.
