I must be missing something here. Why exactly is focusing on sales to enterprise causing a crisis at GitHub?
Is this a development team that doesn't want to prioritize that feature set? Or something else? And if so _what_?
The closest the article gets to saying is a "suit-and-tie salesforce culture" pitted against "GitHub's meritocracy with an informal management structure." But what does the sale's team's culture matter outside the sales team?
Are they suddenly making the entire engineering team into sales engineers rather than just having sales drive software requirement priority? It sounds like it's that, or what a lot of management teams do when they want to change focus, but don't have a clear idea what they want or how to accomplish it: throw micromanagement at the problem.
