Thought on this one:

> Trust is also built with transparency. Work in public, have discussions in the open, and document what you’re working on. This gives everyone the context they need, and eliminates the political squabbles that plague many companies.

This seems prone to feedback loops; it can go both directions. If there are political squabbles, discussion may be driven private, to avoid it getting shut down or derailed by certain people.

I've seen this. Takes management vigilantly guarding the commons from excessive drive bys and divebombs.

It takes a lot less energy to throw shit than it does to clean shit. There's infinite signals. Big egos take a lot of energy to repel and redirect to maintain it. I think it's absolutely worth it when it's possible, but yeah.

You wouldn't think so until you've done it, but it's really hard to get 6+ adults together where everyone's primary goal in that team is to make a thing. Seems like there's always one or more people who want to peck others, build fiefdoms, hold court.
