Facebook Sponsors Let's Encrypt

I often wonder whether the relationships between brand-less factions in (and across) organizations has more of an impact than the official PR-heavy moves made under the institutional brand.

Take, for example, the changes that have happened at Microsoft since Ballmer's departure. I have a hard time imagining the branching GitHub's Atom to make an open source "light IDE", deprecating IE, and Google's using TypeScript for Angular2 happening while Ballmer's faction was in power. Microsoft has the same name, but it's acting like a very different beast.

I'm not sure how one could observe these factions cut across institutions, but I'd be interested if anyone has any suggested readings.

I believe heavy handed central planning at a large scale is destined to be inefficient. Sure there would be fragmentation but the system would be fluid. The chances of bad decisions taking the ship down will be reduced.

If you're referring to VS Code, it doesn't use Atom at all.

Oh, interesting. Not sure where I heard that... thank you for the correction!
