[–] JonnieCache 14y ago ↗ It'll be interesting to see how well they keep up their whole anarchism thing with a burst of new hires, and with investors asking them questions. Good luck to them! [–] osxwm 14y ago ↗ What "whole anarchism thing" are you referring to? [–] bau5 14y ago ↗ binge drinking [–] smokeyj 14y ago ↗ He's talking about Github running a flat organization, similar to what was outlined in the Steam employee handbook. [–] osxwm 14y ago ↗ That is not anarchism. [–] smokeyj 14y ago ↗ There never is a True Scotsman. [–] icebraining 14y ago ↗ This is nothing like a NTS. There are anarchist organizations, Github just isn't one of them.
