Your best people are leaving.

If it was just money, you could fix it. This is different. The real reason is your environment doesn’t let them do their best work.

You hired A-players and they became spectators. You hired people with taste and speed, then trained them to wait.

And instead of fixing the environment, you added more process. More oversight. More “alignment.”

The result? Slow suffocation disguised as management.

I've been on both sides of this. Built environments as a founder. Lived in one as an IC at Dropbox. The difference taught me everything about why great talent fails in wrong environments.

Great people don’t suddenly get mediocre. The environment makes them act that way.

I wrote about the real framework that works: Vibe → Environment → Culture. How @morganb made his explicit. And why this order changes everything.

If you're losing people you can't afford to lose, this might explain why.

You don't need:
• Another productivity app
• Perfect conditions
• A cleaner desk
• More planning time
You just need to focus on your top priority tasks and give them your all

"If the train leaves every 5 minutes you don't care about a timetable. If it leaves every 2 days you want to know *exactly* when it leaves"
Great analogy from @hamrin reflecting on planning, estimating and software delivery.

Software teams have two jobs: 1) produce valuable software; 2) increase, or at least sustain, their ability to do #1.
Software development is unique in that ignoring #2 will rapidly destroy #1.

@RMH40 Congratulations to you both!
