Hey @waseem,

Thanks so much for taking the time to join us today and sharing some great thinking that has informed your journey. Along with other ideas, you pointed at a much-needed, nuanced reality with this:

> “I think the place this gets frustrating is when you get the worst of both worlds: decentralized teams that move slowly because of their significant coordination overhead (because they’re not actually empowered to do the things they need to do).

Thanks, again, for doing this!

Thanks Waseem,  
That’s a great way to put it. People are always seeking better end-to-end solutions to problems and aren’t necessarily concerned with paths, guess hence the rise of various unique ways in which software is being deployed these days. Thank you for patiently answering all the questions.

Thanks Waseem,

That makes total sense. Not as obvious at first and not often considered, but decentralized teams that move slowly can actually be the worst outcome here. And your point about empowering people to pursue destinations not routes fits right in.

Thanks again for doing this. Cheers.
