This would be ideal! I've been able to capture something like this for brief periods, but it's an unstable situation. Most of the time, processes and team dynamics strike me as highly dysfunctional, as if designed to destroy productivity. I have worked on about 10 different teams, and 4 of those were pleasant and reasonably productive experiences. The rest I could mine for a lot of stand-up comedy material.

The main problems: Autonomy, ownership, and true responsibility. Even for people with 'senior' in their title, on many teams/companies these are nowhere to be found.
