I actually read that.  Interesting approach.  Not sure how the flat structure works for them, assuming it's more than PR bullshit.  The company timeline is informative as well.

It sounds like a dream workplace for someone like me! Who knows ;)

Queue uncontrollable fanboy gushing in 3...2, oh, it's already here.

Well, Valve just bought another year of Can-Do-No-Wrong from the gaming community. Good for them. I bet making that book took less than 1/10 of the time of making a game. Is it too cynical to think that this leak is intentional?

I don't think it's a coincidence that this leaks out around the same time Valve are hiring new talent for their hardware project.
