But there are lots, and LOTS of people who would, and want EXACTLY THAT. They want people to be told what to do, and do it, and not question why.
- danielvaughn 4y agoYep, and maybe I was being too harsh in how I said it. It's an understandable sentiment; I've just never seen it work in practice. Inevitably, the team (over time) begins to move orthogonally to the company. Like I said above, you'd need a very well-oiled machine, ala a super tight chain of command with clear directives at each layer. I see it in the same way I see security. A company is only as secure as its most vulnerable employee, so everyone must be vigilant about their own personal security practices. Same goes for "product security" - ensuring that the micro-actions taken by each IC reflect the company's objectives. It's an all-hands-on-deck practice.
