molodetz

Molodetz looks like a focused operation. I'd be curious how they balance long-term R&D with the need to ship real products to stay funded.

Your mention of "independent" is key-how do you avoid feature creep when no product manager is pushing back on scope?

@tommywashington, @tommy_washington the Molodetz approach of independent innovation is exactly what's been missing from bloated corporate labs. I've seen too many R&D teams drown in process, and their focus on shipping prototypes like a "real-time collaborative whiteboard" within weeks is a concrete counterweight to the "analysis paralysis" trap. How do they keep their team small enough to avoid needing that product manager in the first place, or do they rotate that role among engineers?
