Living life and enjoying it; a.k.a. "presence"; is not available to everyone. Most people, including workers in Silicon Valley such as engineers, literally get used and farmed. You happen to be of rockstar talent level and your ride will be more pleasant than most. Don't feel guilty - but don't get upset either when we mock you.

A downvote without a reply is a form of impotence. It says: I don't like what you said, but I don't have the verbal dexterity to articulate my position in a cogent & cohesive way.

> the best work that they've ever done

Whatever you say, Marie Antoinette. You're the exception to the rule and can perhaps create a new kind of corporate culture (though I sincerely doubt it.. if you do, you'll owe it to society to write a management textbook. Or - you will act like most people do - and hoard the information for personal benefit, until one of your underlings reverse engineers it and publicizes because you're just not paying her what she's worth. Case in point: Michael O Church). Most great work is stymied by politics, because the great creative thinkers and engineers haven't been groomed and trained in politics/management. So due to their social flaws, their projects fail, and they're stymied.

Michael O Church is crowdsourcing political support, and he believes the crowd will throw out the hegemony. Well, Michael O Church just might be on to something.

I think it's disrespectful to call it quirky, especially considering their international customer base.

Wrong. And that's because we don't give you access to it, because of your puerile ego-driven behavior, kiddo.

feature request.

for software teams.

at EOD write "how you are going to quickly jump back into code". This introduces a business process to enforce a cognitive best practice that leads to much faster "stack load" times.

> Basically any startup that is successful at getting frequent TC coverage could be accused of playing the politics game

WTF are you talking about? Getting into techcrunch is as simple as writing a check to a PR firm.

Some people are happy letting their ego be in the driver's seat, and they do pay a price for it.
