“Taking care of the people means that your
company is a good place to work. Most workplaces
are far from good. As organizations grow large,
important work can go unnoticed, the hardest
workers can get passed over by the best politicians,
and bureaucratic processes can choke out the
creativity and remove all the joy.”

“It's not a skill you learn in school or pick up
from a magazine article on a plane flight home.
No, building scalable systems is a body of
knowledge slowly built up over time from hard
won experience and many failed battles.”
