I find the The Jim Collins books to be insightful.

Good to Great. Built to Last, etc.

Focuses on how the organizations are constructed and tries to divine principles that are true across time.

Glad someone mentioned the true focus of the channel

I can appreciate the thinking here, but it not ideal. Different details are relevant to different people. And async is inefficient for many situations. Yes publish findings/results, but overcommunicating has a cost.

Better to create different channels (sync, async, 1:1, broadcast), provide guidance and trust workers.

Regular group discussions (not standup) are important. My team meets 30-60 minutes four days a week to discuss technical details and long term strategy.

It plays two important roles

1. establish rapport between team members

2. gives known space for issues. Leads to Better balance of focus time and group convo

This is the most important meeting of the day. Create doc to people can add things to the agenda. Managers job is to keep the meeting relevant, efficient.

Outside of that. Devs encouraged to pair together separately for troubleshooting.

1:1s are critical early on. DO NOT CANCEL THEM. And keep them relevant

If only there was a way for, let's say, the most powerful money printer in the world to grant / loan money to Intel so that they could onshore state-of-the art chip production in the interest of national security.

A serious government would extract concessions for any grants (shares of profit), an seriousness one would just give the money over and be like "Trickle down baby".

Being subjected to a financial panopticon is something that Brett Scott discusses in "Cloud Money".

CDBC's have an advantage over bank money (checking accounts, credit cards, etc.) in that it is actual state issued currency, rather than a promise. However, they raise the same privacy and coercive concerns.

A promise of not recording transactions is ... not reliable. You don't have to see the CCP as nefarious in order to see that the incentives and ease of recording all transactions would inevitably lead that outcome. This is true for global capital as well.

Hard currency remains the best medium for transactions that remain beyond full surveillance. It's difficult for me to imagine something digital replacing that at scale that doesn't also make financing large scale criminal or terrorist activity much more difficult to stop.
