COMPANY PLAYBOOK
Sourcegraph
Sourcegraph builds speed in remote engineering through high agency, ownership of customer problems and small validation steps rather than chains of instruction.
System principles
- Make the person doing the work the default decision owner.
- Cut scope, not quality.
- Own customer value, not just output.
Tensions and trade-offs
- High agency shortens decision distance but can pull teams apart without shared context.
- Early shipping accelerates learning but temporary solutions can become permanent debt.
