First the negatives.

I really don't see many companies jump on this shift.

Firstly, it means culture shift needs to happen on every level of the company and that means people in charge need to change.

Secondly, some business-oriented people might be ok for keep doing X and not change, instead of potentially make 2X, but go through the stress and growing pains.

However, and here's where I'd like to give massive kudos to your videos, Jayme - there clearly is this movement where development, company culture and management around it is seen as long term collaborative creative process, empowering the creative people too in return of better product or service.

So, while we still might have negative side to our industry for foreseeable future, I hope we will see new breed of companies where they can start fresh with this crazy new ideology in mind.
