Colton just groaning and his answers getting cut out each time is the best part of the whole video

Riley's psychoanalysis of Linus is the thing that I did not know I needed until Riley suggested it was possible.

Damn, not having time to be reflective or retrospective seems like such a key step to be missing out especially when you are looking to implement new systems or people are looking to do more quality creative work. Obviously there will be ways to give feedback but every now and then it is healthy to step back from the carrot and see if we can make the stick any better, together of course.

I really love seeing someone go from unboxing something in their bedroom or a garage to eventually employing people and launching careers, it's mind blowing and very admirable obviously passion is key all the way, :)

"Working with Linus is like directing a river. Can't stop it, but you change its flow." I have to say. I like this quote. It sums up the man pretty well.

I love that the disclaimer made me think people wouldn’t spill their thought like a 100% but they actually didn’t hold any punches throughout the video haha. Definitely a company of passionate AND compassionate people, keep it up

The fact that Dan said "we argue a lot" "I call him an idiot" I knew he was perfectly comfortable and is exactly where he needs to be in life hahaha

Dan has a heart of gold and I enjoy him alot. On WAN-shows, he adds so much momentum because he does not have this years-old relationship that Luke has, but still does not hold back. I need more Dan in my life.

Fun fact: Being aware of problems is the first step towards solving them, not the only step. Address the concerns raised by your employees properly or your channel will follow NCIX next to oblivion.

When Riley admitted that his changes would just make things worse, I felt that.

I think the most reassuring part for me was the disclaimer. The rest of the video is great. But the fact that it was mentioned that obviously not everything would be shared, because that could and possibly should have certain consequences for their professional careers, made it feel a lot more honest than it might've otherwise. Being transparent about not being fully transparent and why is usually a good sign.

rewatching this with the context of how Madison was treated is disgusting

Hi Linus, (putting here in case you read!) Just for another perspective on the flexible working hours thing: we have a similar sized company and we use this practice but it only applies to certain roles. Other roles are on shift pattern, some are on day with flexitime and others are day without flexitime. I think a one size fits all approach is not good longterm and with a larger company, it becomes unwieldy to do this across all specialised roles, especially when there are tight deadlines to be met - stress and anxiety can be increased. Secondly, this is a trust issue. It seems that this policy and the reason for it appears to be rooted in the fallacy that one person will ruin it for everyone. (I'm going to be harsh here) I don't believe it's sane to run a company like that. You cannot control or expect to control employees 100% of the time. To treat them like children instead of the professionals they clearly are. If they are not good at time management then that's a situation where line managers and HR need to be involved - the fear of that shouldn't reflect on how all other employees are treated. One way we ostensibly enable collaboration is through mandated office hours. Everyone on flexitime has to be on site between 10 am and 14:00, for example, unless there is prior consent from the person's manager.
