Organizations are different than products though. The organization could easily function better, but the product could be worse.

As someone once said, "If the person who made your computer wasn't an asshole, it probably wouldn't even turn on."

This takes on a particularly hilarious tone now that lots of people assemble their own computers.

Obviously, that quote is utter hogwash, but it might be worth saying explicitly, at least for HN culture: cooperation is essential, and would you cooperate with an asshole?
