I've only ever heard how the boss-less, collaborative environment over at Valve is good.
But I simply can't trust anything until I start hearing about the negative aspects too, which nobody ever seems to report.
I mean, not everything can be all roses over there. I'm tremendously interested in the way their workplace actually runs, but you can't really learn any lessons or apply it anywhere else without having a fuller picture of what really goes on, warts and all. I mean, no system is perfect, or even close to it.
