  This was written about 5-6 months before the sexual harassment claims, lawsuit, investigation, and the later departure of one of the cofounders.

  My take on this is that lack of 'management' might seem like fun but there's a reason most grown-up companies have more process.

  Much of this is no longer true because, as I understand it, it didn't really scale.

  I personally don't find it off putting, but I bet the frequent references to "beer-thirty" and "drink-ups" could be offputting to a fair amount of people.
