For reference (as per Wikipedia):

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

Imagine interpreting that as advice on how you should try to design things, lol.

Tbf, I think most of the post is just typical LinkedIn fluff, but I didn't want to take the poor fellow out of context.

That version is so much more readable for some reason. Like this is actually a wonderful sentence:

Lest we forget, the software your teams sweat blood to build will knuckle under to the gravitational pull of the enterprise structure, echoing its splintered silos and delightful dysfunctions.

That doesn't sound (to me) like an LLM, and yet the stuff it produces by default reads in a tone that we would have described as "robotic" long before GPT.
