In the race for attention, is this article interesting because it's a new model for implementing and delegating work, or more the fact that a company has decided to rapidly cut down on contractors? Because there's lots of companies that rapidly cut down on contractors, and I doubt they'd all have an article written about them at the top of Hacker News. I'm neither here nor there about the company, but I note that it competes for a lot of my attention. I feel like if they decided to switch to all Macs, or abandoned Slack for IRC, I'd see a story about it here on Hacker News.
