> Stripe makes it clear this is primarily for software engineers, not "managers".* If a team already works well together, what is their new Stripe manager going to do? That sounds a bit awkward for said manager. He or she would be in a weak negotiating position with the group. I'd argue that although Stripe isn't seeking to hire more managers, they are outsourcing management a little bit by allowing these not-yet-hires to form their own teams. It does relieve some burden. I wonder what happens when something goes awry and a correction is needed. Will the group follow the new manager's suggestions? So many things could go right or wrong with this.
