One of my earlierst HN Comments is describing my desire to work for Valve because their self-organized style seemed to be the utopia I always dreamed about. Back then I thought I didn't have what it takes to even Interview. Maybe I didn't, still I feel I've dodged a massive bullet.
Thanks for sharing this. Might be helpful to link to the original Reddit thread [0] or the employee's Twitter [1]:

Words of wisdom over hundreds of tweets. I'd probably want to fire anyone that thinks this is a good idea.
I think most of my concerns center around this being an impulsive stream of clearly stress based posts. I think a lot of really good conversation could have been raised, which I fear may be lost by a) the stream of conscious nature of the posts, and b) a lack of better editing or personal judgement on a bit of the content.
The frustration shines through, but so does a lot of "advice" about dealing with an unhealthy culture in an even more unhealthy way.
I wish the author the best, the little I know of his past work seems solid. I commend raising these issues, but it raises a few red flags with me in the manner of execution.

Yeah... he should've hashed it out in a complete blog post since its very hard to appreciate the thought process
