My hunch would be:

1. Premise: Organizations always try to stay alive. 2. To stay alive you have to be active and doing things which is rewarded by future money. 3. If your organizational role is "protect children" but who's functional mechanism is to take them away will look for ways to do that.

Similar things happen when policing seems to go awry, if they confuse "protect the public" (goal) with "arrest people for stuff" (doing something)

I think that's the right take. If you're are legitimately good, and you press on long enough, (and admittedly you have some luck), you'll often win eventually.

Software leaders who want to succeed long-term could learn a lot from Spolky's leadership style.

Love this.

+1. As a founder with adhd and it was a strength not a weakness. Constant change and problem solving is exhilarating.
