If you look at a lot of larger successful tech product firms, they seem to succeed with similar loose coupling philosophies. As I understand it, departments or teams at Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all operate with a large degree of autonomy and independence. To a certain extent, you might think of those as organizations comprised of smart folks capable of forming excellent efficiencer firms if they weren’t more content with pragmatist and journeyman idealist career scripts. But any way you look at it, the decomposed, targeted, automation-expert path is going to win.
