What happens when you remove hierarchy, high school happens, thats what.
the idea of a flat structure is as solid as communism but in practice it simply does not work.
the closest thing to a flat structure is feudalistic structure. here, engineers and designers are peasants (all flat at this level) and various hierarchy (manager of managers who do little to no intensive work).
the other alternative of this feudal structure is where you have an army of engineers and designers and one person telling what to do. Dictatorship works in software, decision by consensus is as useful as day trading via votes.
