>I don't understand how this can be the top comment.

Know the audience. Think of the most unnecessarily difficult people to work with in a given tech workplace - they make up about 75% of the users here. The other 25% are broken into aspiring entrepreneurs, reasonable ICs and Reddit migrants who are still trying to find their feet.

>Do away with most management? And then what? 30,000 employees all steer the ship in the right direction by sheer "individual accountability and focus on results"? Well that gave me a good laugh.

Same crowd will balk at any suggestion around deriving accountability quantitatively. These rugged individualist coder wolves just need to be unleashed to let their genius flow, man.

>Culture is overrated? That's literally the only thing that prevents work from becoming a sterile factory.

See above. Why would the most unnecessarily difficult people to work with want a workplace that promotes working with others?

Curious, why do you think so? Its hard for me to see any correlation with social/tech news consumption and being difficult to work with.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with the post you are replying to, but the people who comment here are different to the general people who consume here.

Putting aside whether there’s a correlation, forums develop their own unique cultures—a product of the moderation system, unspoken norms, and the specific individuals who comment there. A different forum might be discussing the exact same articles in a very different way.

According to your model, you are part of the audience too. So I assume (using your logic) that you are difficult to work with too or is still trying to find your feet? I (for one) doesn’t fit in your model. And I am also pretty sure I am not the only one. So I recommend perhaps adjusting your model to fit reality better?
