Splitting engineering teams into defense and offense

To the people pooh poohing this, do y’all really work with such terrible coworkers that you can’t imagine an effective version of this?

You need trust in your team to make this work but you also need trust in your team to make any high velocity system work. Personally, I find the ideas here extremely compelling and optimizing for distraction minimization sounds like a really interesting framework to view engineering from.

work with terrible management that can't imagine an effective version of this.
