Interesting & telling (& not at all what i meant!) is most replies celebrating IC's. It's a simplifcation for sure but "autonomy, mastery, & purpose" being the elements of fulfilment rings true however hou dice this. Personally I'd really like to see a lot of really good engineers given direct unfettered access to talent, given authority while trying to minimize their personell and management overheads: let the humam resources go wild, synergize, make good things. And stand the frak back. It's a gaping vast culutral loss that Brendan hasnt had a team of 10 under him. There are people missing from the world who would be way awesome & have done great things if Brendan had simply been tossed some people. Byt usually corporations statt having political games, attachments, commitments, things other than the work itself that comes with authority. Im fascinated by & not sure this world will ever get to grapple with just how core & essential a problem creating "low-drag" organizations is. Allowing itself to acknowledge that much of what it does is far more excellent & powerful than those in the chain of command can really.tap, harvest, understand, much less take credit for or manage. Orgs need an anti-gravity force, a depolitical defence, of stand the f back. Brendan's go do it figure it out brilliance needs a chance & positiom in this world, needs to be shareable. Or the idea of an organization is actually a hazard, is ossified & unworthy of being the thing that has overgrown this planet loke it has. Human dignity & potential should not remain so shadowed & bound.
