Thanks for sharing - wonderfully insightful post >> I've changed from the "anything goes" type boss to the "I'm going to be the asshole" over the past six months. Is this really, absolutely necessary? I'm not sure I could/would.. but that might change once I get on with my start-up? I'm always for doing things differenly -- there are enough companies that "thrive" on a-hole management.

Maybe "I'm going to be the asshole" is too strong. I meant to say that I'm the guy that says "no" to things. I'm going to be tough on people about code quality and process because that is what we are selling our clients. I would hope that my employees don't think I'm an asshole but at times I realize I get annoyed and just say "this is how we're doing it"

  Haha, thanks for clarifying, I see what you mean now.. Still sounds a little like micro-management (though you'd say quality assurance), which a lot of people (perhaps including yourself?) might find annoying (well, I do) How do you find the balance there?
