What an utter mess of a thread.<p>Look, social experiments of the sort taking place at GitHub are good things - they can teach us something. If their policies make the organization stronger, that&#x27;s awesome - we get a stronger GitHub. If their policies end up damaging the organization, that&#x27;s also awesome - because it&#x27;ll become evident they&#x27;re bad policies, and companies will stop implementing them.<p>Everyone just sit back, let the market do its job, and be sure to take note of the results when it&#x27;s time for you to do your own company-building.
