184. How Teams Really Work
Description
We weigh the trade-offs between startup speed and enterprise stability, and why separation of concerns across product, marketing, sales, security, and legal protects focus and trust. The throughline: reduce dependencies, design clear interfaces, and learn the reason behind every gate before you try to remove it.
• small pains revealing big structural truths
• big corp frameworks vs real-world dependencies
• startup ownership, bottlenecks and executive approvals
• redundancy vs single points of failure
• why vertical slices exist as checks and balances
• limits of embedded pods and cognitive load
• aligning structure to software and outcomes
• clean interfaces between product, marketing and sales
• career strategy by season: breadth vs depth
• diagnose before change, then tune approvals to risk
