More rules and policies are more rigid, move slower. I like the youth and

I think there is a happy medium... Don't like some of the "cowboy culture" I've
seen (worked with) because there are no standards...
part of the problem is that there can't be standards on new stuff that's being
invented as we go along. Part of it is tht the "cowboy culture" works, and is
actually beneficial at a small scale. The problems with it show up as companies
grow. If your company has under a half dozen to a dozen techies total to run
everything, a "cowboy culture" is probably correct because everyone needs to do
everything, and there is very little commonatlity between tasks. As you grow and
bring in more people, tasks get more repetitive and standardizing the response
to problems becoems both more desirable and more possible.
