Kontras
Really can't think of much.
- I guess I've witnessed a couple instances of bikeshedding since I've been here, but avoiding that completely isn't really possible
- If you want a LOT of structure and very clear-cut delineation between design, frontend, backend, ops, and project management, you might feel a little lost at Digg, and you might want to go work for a huge company
