Wow, hey folks as the author here, I'm really surprised to see this pop up on HN.

It's been a long time since I wrote this, and I've come to appreciate that there are a lot of nuances, a lot of different teams, and a lot of different ways incentives are aligned in different environments.

I'd love to hear some illustrations of ways y'all have navigated these issues. What factors made it successful? When would it not have worked?
