The team operating at the highest level of the lake house.
Eight cross-functional leaders. Zero direct reports. A flat org by necessity — there is no one left to hire, and no budget to hire them.
Owns the infrastructure. Sets the roadmap. Controls the thermostat.
Built this website instead of playing. Has decided that this counts as a contribution.
Has never once gone to bed before 3am voluntarily. Refuses to be the reason the night ends early.
Owns the supply chain from cooler to coffee table. Zero stockouts, three fiscal years running.
Reads the rulebook. Enforces the rulebook. Is the rulebook.
Tracks who owes whom in beers. The number never goes down.
Ensures no one leaves the table feeling like they lost. Everyone lost.
Optimizes for the long game. Loses the short game. Maintains it was part of the plan.
The org is full. The table seats eight. Roles open when someone moves away, which they are contractually discouraged from doing.
