- Google's culture enshrined a "anyone can challenge anything" at the beginning.
- This was very useful after PMF, and when Google was Not A Normal Company.
- At that time, if someone was proposing doing things in the traditional way, anyone, including a new grad, could challenge it.
- But over time, that culture metastasized into a default-no culture, where everything was an argument.
- It also made it basically impossible to do multi-ply strategies, because each strategy had to be understood by even the most junior team member with no more than 30 seconds of exposition.
