You can have both though, that's the thing. Something can still be community driven with feedback from users and the lead developers/owners can act on it with the resources they have.

Absolutely agree! I think we shall have both, instead of we can have both. No open source project became a success, other than a few linux versions. But at some point in time it was Redhat leading the pack...Why? Because they had a support model around their open source software so companies could rely on maintenance of the software. HIVE has no such thing, and therefore no serious app developer / company will use HIVE. Not as long as the chain can be taken over by others. Not as long the witnesses are what they are, but too little involved in creating the eco-system. Not as long we still have outages (not sure if it is the chain, or it are the dApps); No business critical system can use a framework that is not 100% stable. Not as long anarchy is the name of the game. Not as long a few whales more-or-less own HIVE distribution including our proposal system. At least a governance structure shall be created that 1) drives development, innovation and all business aspects 2) involve the community in decision making. Yes, we have a governance system already, but it has major flaws. We need more 'central' bodies, call them institutions. Methods exists to make sure these are not the new controlling bodies managed by only a few. Companies managed by not only managers, but also its employees is experimented with a lot and proved to be successful in eg the last financial crisis (no bankruptcies at all, employees feel heard, everybody took a step back to survive with the company). Brasilian Ricardo Semler is a big advocate of such all-inclusive companies and help setting up many of them.
Wondering when those who run our chain, and our whales will see the light.
I really can't add anything to this, there aren't any nails left to hit on the head haha!
I see this with the company I work at and there's always constant feedback happening between employees (users) and the management. Everyone is approachable and ideas get discussed with the senior leadership team - it works really well and everyone feels a part of the picture.
Hahahaha, sorry for not leaving any nails. Anarchism is over rated; but that cant be voice in our community. But the combination of self management and collective management (which requires some form of leadership) is possible.
Great your company has their employees inclusive, they did certainly took a step towards the future. The company I ended up with not too long ago, is super traditional, with a few middle management layers who don't want to get bypassed by the workers... ie virtual teams are possible, but any form of decision making is done at middle management level without the specialist or topic owners in the meeting when decisions are made. Over time they will learn they will fall behind the market with such rigid approach.
My philosophy is: Best run companies are those without middle management; management as in managers. There could be a set of coaches, and leads (like in Agile and DevOps kinda structures, we have the chapter leads), but everybody shall be responsible for its own set of tasks and that same person will deal with whoever to get the job done, whether it be a direct team colleague, some other team colleague, or even the CEO.
It would be so good when all the witnesses and whales would have their own walkin sessions. But they dont. I dont understand why not. But they simply dont.
