Cool, thanks. This matches my experience with ambitious projects that actually succeed: - Start with a really good engineer getting frustrated with existing stuff - but frustrated in a targeted way, and over a long period of time, not just a few weeks of grumpiness. - Let them loose for a few weeks to sketch an alternative. - Pause, and then the hardest part - smell whether this is going in the right direction. This just takes good taste! - Make a decisive cut - either it's not working, or Let's Do It! I can think of four or five ambitious projects I've been on or around that have really worked well, and they all seem to have worked in this way. I don't think I realized this clearly until this comment thread - thank you.
