My brainstorm outline for How GitHub (no longer) Works: http://zachholman.com/talk/how-github-no-longer-works/
# How GitHub (No Longer) Works
https://speakerdeck.com/holman/how-github-works
- github slide (HGW#61)
- half is no longer true lol
- compare office sizes
- compare amount of people
- compare money?
- not a lot of difference to be honest
- but those changes become super super interesting (well, to me)
- [x] trust employees (HGW#41)
- feedback is really tough
- [x] campfire rooms (HGW#66)
- simple branching (HGW#73)
- [x] deployment (HGW#75)
- [x] employees left (HGW#85)
- attrition rate of 6%
- [x] staff-shipped feature flags (HTBAG#103)
- more staff-shipping
- way more team-shipping
- mentions and team mentions and signal:noise ratio
- [x] reduce institutional knowledge (SG#31)
- need for more formal docs
- [x] new hires need more hand holding (SG#34)
- cautious deploys (HTBAG#99)
- [x] organizational topic area (chat, team breakout etc)
- [x] vc
## Other notes, in hindsight
- [x] "Build websites like it's 2005"
