It's now 2025. When Gabe said "Management is a skill, not a career path.", that hurt. There's still so many people in so many companies that should have taken this to heart 11 years ago.
This is over 10 years old at this point and I'm still mad at whoever did the audio setup for this recording because of how much rumble and boom you can hear each time he touches the table.
Great points that I have intuited over the years. Publicly traded companies are trash and always tend towards maximum profit and the consumer experience be damned due to the fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. They are literally forced by law to be as greedy as possible and cannot make principled decisions without being liable to be sued by the shareholders which always leads to the terrible experience of backwards rules and being nickle and dimed.

@@PavltheRobot Market monetarism is a school of macroeconomic thought that advocates that central banks target the level of nominal income instead of inflation, unemployment, or other measures of economic activity, including in times of shocks such as the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2006, and in the financial crisis that followed.[1] In contrast to traditional monetarists, market monetarists do not believe monetary aggregates or commodity prices such as gold are the optimal guide to intervention. Market monetarists also reject the New Keynesian focus on interest rates as the primary instrument of monetary policy.[1] Market monetarists prefer a nominal income target due to their twin beliefs that rational expectations are crucial to policy, and that markets react instantly to changes in their expectations about future policy, without the "long and variable lags" postulated by Milton Friedman
Gabe really does put customers first and creates massive value chains for creators. This is a much better business plan than outsourcing all work and making the cheapest product to sell for maximum profits to the shareholders.
4000 lines of code a day? Is this man a never nester? Does he put all arguments on a new line? I really want to see this code. I do that in a WEEK and I'm always the first or second top contributor on my team. 4000 lines/day is insanely impressive to me.
The decision to not pigeonhole employees by assigning explicit roles in Valves company structure was probably the best decision they ever made when it comes to the creative longevity of their products.
An amazing shift, I'd love to know the actual cause for it. It has eroded spectacularly, I suspect mostly tied to UI changes but it probably deserves a study to prevent the ruin of other products.
12:29 "Talent is a word I hate, I just mean the ability to be productive" Couldn't agree more. Talent is a fake value. The will to provide a service is where it's at.
being productive and having the will to provide a service are two vastly different things. Being productive is how much value are you able to create for yourself or others that can be within a company or not, having the will to provide a service speaks on the motivation which is sort of meaningless in a pure business perspective as much as the word talent in fact.
@@stt.9433 I meant being able to develop usable product material for other colleagues in the chain is more valuable than looking to satisfy the inner introvert with arbitrary selected cognition material, an attitude I associate with talent. To me, his quote dissociates two archetypes of workers, the former valuing their image more than the product, the latter doing what needs to be done for the product to be complete.
Talent is just being ineherntly good at what you are doing, your definition is completely made up. I think the word you are searching for in your original comment is productivity or efficiency.
It is a godsent that Valve is still a private company. This way they only serve their customers on both ends and not a flock of greedy shareholders. The continued good customer service over more than two decades is proof of that.
