Very early in my carreer, I worked for a company where my employee ID was '6'. At a company that small, there is nothing you don't do.

Meeting with a multi-billion dollar CEO? Yep, you'll be in the room.

System failure in Russia? Yep, you're getting out of bed.

Customer request for new feature? Yep, you're building it.

That cycle of accountability made for a great experience, and I think this article captures it well.
