Collaboration Sucks

PostHog dropped a bomb with “Collaboration Sucks,” arguing teams move faster when a single driver makes the call, ships the thing, and asks for feedback later. Fewer meetings, fewer “let’s discuss” Slack messages, more shipping—got it. But the community? Absolutely split down the middle, and the drama is delicious.

On Team Less Talk, ssalmon74 pitched “Gravitational Pull,” a tiny trio of decision-makers called the “Quantum Sync Circle,” declaring “everyone else is noise.” Fans called it the anti-meeting cleanse. Meanwhile, the opposition rolled in: bryzaguy said bad collaboration isn’t a reason to ditch it—it’s a skill, like a team sport. Cue the meme wave: “Globetrotters vs Lakers” got spammed as folks argued showy solo plays vs real team wins. mcdow went full woodworking wisdom: “Measure twice, cut once”—translation, communicate before you code.

Then came the office politics: john_moscow reminded everyone that companies don’t love lone wolves running the show, and throwaway713 roasted managers who say “it’s your call,” then swoop in later to second-guess. The crowd clowned PostHog’s count of 175 “let’s discuss” in Slack, turning it into a running gag. Whether you’re pro-speed or pro-meeting, the battle lines are set—and the comment section is on fire.
