Very interesting read. Some things about the difference between middle/senior/lead-developers is a bit too generalized / controversial. But this quote stuck with me:
"What you do not want are employees who are blindly following you down a potentially self-destructive path because they believe anything the company does is what it should do."
What I find fascinating about the Unreal engine is, how fast they are able to iterate or implement new features, without that whole thing falling apart. Reading their release notes [1] is crazy. No idea, how the manage to keep going at that pace.
