These founder/hacker/startup blogs of wisdom are quite shallow. Here’s a “how to Mode” mock-list and also the idea that things are self-replicating. So? Anything more?
I don’t think the hacker/startup/founder persona is interested in going deeper. Because to their mind society should be very loosely coupled on all levels and that would just solve all such problems.
- OSS projects are small enough to have a “BDFL”
- Most things about companies are bad. But if they were small and not monopolistic they would be good
- Problems along the way are partially solved with disruption/geniuses of the gaps
The cooperation between all these very small entities would be fine. I don’t know. I don’t think it is often touched upon.
You shouldn’t hire a chess prodigy grand master to teach you chess. Probably. You probably want someone who is more in touch with what it feels like to be a beginner. Who at least has been there.
Similarly you don’t want sociological input from the hacker/startup/founder persona. They’ve already got it figured out. (Refer to Dilbert)
- janalsncm 2y ago> OSS projects are small enough to have a “BDFL” Not just that, most of them are “useless”. The median NPM package probably has zero downloads per month. That’s ok, it’s your time, so if you want to create a new terminal emulator for the heck of it I say go for it. But anarchy is hardly a perfect solution.
