A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I'm not sure they do have anything that looks like typical corporate America, but I don't know a lot more. I know at Microsoft everybody reported to him and from what I've been able to piece either that's not changed we Valve. But he obviously doesn't "manage" everybody, so how he does it I'm not sure.

Most organizations are just a dictatorship by another name if we use the definition in The Dictators Handbook which states keep your essentials and influentials small in quantity so you can pay them for results. A democratic environment those groups are many so you can only win them over with policy and influence. I feel like he runs his organization like the second but I want to know more. A lot more.

Yep I'm keen to understand more, the information is super scarce, all I could find is a short YouTube that didn't explain much.

You know, 50 years from now everyone may be doing the Gabe method the same way they say they do agile. it would be hilarious to see it happening.

And painful if it's like that. Meeting twice a week is not agile, Janet! Lol
