Very good talk about work organisation at #Github. Quite disruptive and deliciously ignoring of the corporate trends of today (such as “no mail” policies). Emphasizes asynchronous collaboration, against the “interrupt co-workers all day” method.
Some of the slogans can be read in both directions. For instance, “no work hours” can be read as “managers should let employees work when they want” or as “managers can ask employees to work at any time”.
Also, there is certainly a difference between this talk and the reality (as it is in every corporation) but I would really like to know how large is the gap at Github. One of the slogans is “no managers” but I’m not sure Github is really a perfect an-archy.
