Michael from Stripe here (the interviewee).

While it’s true we are always hiring, this wasn’t meant to be a recruiting piece—it’s a personal interview Ken (the author) asked me to do based on demand from his readers.

It’s fair to say this is how we want product building to work, and we certainly don’t always live up to it. But I do think it’s broadly reflective of the operating model our product managers, engineers, etc. aspire to and what we hold ourselves accountable to. Do we fall short of our own aspirations regularly? Absolutely.
