Love to see it!

> yield to a tech CEO from San Francisco

ahem, he's from Utah duh bro

I've been doing this for a year or two. Love it, but haven't made it a thing across my team...and I'm not sure they love it as much as I do :P

> But first, before we get into Gas Town’s operation, I need to get rid of you real quick.

WARNING DANGER CAUTION GET THE F** OUT YOU WILL DIE

I have never met Steve, but this warning alone is :chefskiss:

reminds me of this warning from Dante in the YARP documentation: https://www.yarp.it/latest/warning.html.

Yes we've implemented this at Oso.

What a dempster fire

Say what you will -- East River Source Control is a great name

Props to this team for giving it their all

they don't actually "support" OPA. more like they run/depend on OPA

Gabriel from Permit.io here

Actually, Permit does support OPA. In fact, about 15% of our large customers came from StyraDAS and use Permit as their enterprise OPA solution.

On top of that, we offer OPAL+, which is already adopted by Fortune 100 companies as a production-grade OPA framework.

i know calvin, and he's one of the most authentic people i've worked with in tech. this could not be more off the mark

This reflection seems very unlikely to be authentic because it is full of superlatives and not a single bad thing (or at least not great) is mentioned. Real organizations made of real humans simply are not like this.

The fact that several commenters know the author personally goes some way to explain why the entire comment section seems to have missed the utterly unbalanced nature of the article.

People come out to defend their bosses a lot on this site, convincing themselves they know the powerful people best, that they’re “friends”. How can someone be so confident that a founder is authentic, when a large part of their job is to make you believe so (regardless of whether they are), and the employee’s own self image push them to believe it too?

Some teams are bad, some teams are good.

I've always heard horror stories about Amazon, but when I speak to most people at, or from Amazon, they have great things to say. Some people are just optimists, too.
