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!

What "whole anarchism thing" are you referring to?

[smokeyj → osxwm]

He's talking about Github running a flat organization, similar to what was outlined in the Steam employee handbook.

[osxwm → smokeyj]

That is not anarchism.

[smokeyj → osxwm]

There never is a True Scotsman.

[icebraining → smokeyj]

This is nothing like a NTS. There are anarchist organizations, Github just isn't one of them.

$100M seems like a lot of money - I wonder what their plans are.

[daniel_levine → mrich]

I suspect a good chunk of that money is secondary and going to the founders and employees.

Lately it seems like there are multiple submissions on the same topic that make it to the front page of HN.
