Product design at GitHub · by Kyle Neath »
Every employee at GitHub is a product designer. We only hire smart people we trust to make our product better. We don’t have managers dictating what to work on. We don’t require executive signoff to ship features. Executives, system administrators, developers, and designers concieve, ship, and remove features alike.
Really great article about product design at Github. Though, traditional user research methods seem to strangely go unmentioned.
