> The real point you should take from the article is not that Gore or Valve or GitHub are lucky, but that we approach problem solving in a very different way and that might be an interesting thing to take a look at. If all you read in an article like this is that we're 'goofy' or 'kooky' then you're missing everything that's important and it's a waste of time for you to read the article at all. In fact, if that's what you take and then you try to copy us you will fail horribly in what you do, because you're blindly copying the least important of the many symptoms of this approach. Well said, sir. Reminded me of this article on cargo cult management [1] [1] http://gigaom.com/2009/06/21/cargo-cult-management/ http://gigaom.com/2009/06/21/cargo-cult-management/
