Not to be too negative as I think all of these things are theoretically good, but they are all just copying things Google does, and Google is a much better example of a successful company than a 20 person startup. FYI I'm sure many companies were all doing these things before Google, they are just an easy example.<p>1) Google moderator was invented because it was used internally for Google's TGIF (which is essentially a giant version of the "contrarian office hours")<p>2) Google obviously has tons of tech talks of many different topics that are not only available to people in the company but are often posted to youtube for everybody<p>3) 1:1s are great (this isn't just common to Google but practically any well-managed company), but if this company reaches 100 employees then there is no way the CEO will be able to have effective meetings with everybody, and it probably wouldn't be a good use of time either. At that time they will need to come up with a sane management structure (very hard) that hasn't been required yet.<p>Also my favorite part is:<p>“We tell our employees to check their egos at the door, so as a company we need to do the same thing,”<p>Coming from the CEO, in an article talking about almost exclusively about how great he is, which includes 2 pictures of himself and 0 pictures of anybody else on his team.
