I would probably apply design-by-contract methods. HR, finance and others do play a good role in a company but as long as they are contained :)
I guess startups would eventually want to become a real company and there are costs in that as well. you can minimized that but you can not completely avoid them
- DaniFong 19y agoI dislike working in 'real companies' so much that I've hedged my bets, in case we're successful: we plan on basically growing by mitosis, spawning little, autonomous exclaves of our company (of which we have partial ownership, non-controlling ownership). I bet other hackers dislike working in 'real companies' too, so it might even be a magnet for more independently minded hackers. The most independently minded hackers are likely to go off and start their own, though.
