Netflix has released a (rather long) set of slides outlining their astonishingly open corporate culture. There are quite a few gems, such as allowing employees to choose their own vacation time. In general, their focus is laser sharp on what matters: output over input. It doesn’t matter how long you work, just as long as you get the work done. This should serve as a model for other companies and organizations, especially schools, of how to genuinely embrace an open culture.

In other news, I had a wonderful time in France. Now that I’m back, the output frequency should be bumped up considerably.
