I agree. Just look at who Palantir hires. I imagine its a pretty small number of nose-holders and more often people who think they are doing good and people who think spying is a necessary evil so lets put fine grained controls on it.

He's written some good stuff on management of 'geeks' and high-performance people in general, it was a sad day when I found out about his employer and removed him from my RSS feed.
