After reading the article I wanted to come and comment that it sounds good but I couldn't tell if it really meant anything. Then I read the comments and they make a lot of good points, but they are all conflicting and it's hard to distill any real takeaway. At this point I'm convinced of only one thing: company culture is magic. Everyone influences it, but there is no controlling it. When you're a tiny little startup of course the culture will reflect your values as a founder or early employee, when you're bigger it will change on its own. You can hire for culture, and you can talk about it, or even wax poetic, but ultimately it's a chaotic interaction of individuals and you're a fool if you think you can control it.
