GitHub isn't a startup, it's a punk band that
makes software. - @rtomayko
GitHub is still an independent punk band. They're just
going with a major label distributor. - @shanev
Egalitarianism http://www.ragingchickenpress.org/
Equality for all Egalitarianism:
Rules Suck Egalitarianism:
Egalitarianism: Group Decision making
Egalitarianism: Decentralized control
"organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce
designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations" Conway’s Law: /via @kneath
is egalitarian
all repositories are equal
choose your own workflow
collaboration without coordination
is egalitarian
Everyone can contribute
Pull requests are egalitarian
GitHub makes it easier to work together than
alone
tools -> people -> product ->
values -> taste -> tools -> people -> ...
is egalitarian software
/via @rtomayko’s OSS Constraints Constraints Electronic communication
/via @rtomayko’s OSS Constraints Constraints Available via URL
/via @rtomayko’s OSS Constraints Constraints Asynchronous
/via @rtomayko’s OSS Constraints Constraints Lock-free
is egalitarian (the company)
Influence over hierarchy
Contributions are made based on skills, interest and
company focus, not your job title
chat-based office is location independent
No rules, but 5 core values
Optimize for happiness values
Best argument wins values
Make decisions from first principals values
Create superfans values
Be awesome and change the world values
You, your projects and your company are egalitarian
How can you improve equality?
What rules are really necessary?
How can you best make decisions?
How are you going to change the world?
Thank You! Questions? @briandoll
