In a recent talk you eschewed professional titles. But there was no recommendation or alternative that was suggestd. So how does promotions work in Joyent? Is there a hirearchy? What do you suggest as an alternative?

Salary varies according to experience and role and ([as I mentioned elsewhere](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/31ny87/i_am_the_cto_of_joyent_the_father_of_dtrace_and/cq3gj6l)) salary remains confidential (and should).

If ranking is organisational cancer, how do you figure out how much to pay different engineers in a flat organisation without creating a secret tumor timebomb when people do eventually figure out where they sit?

I don't think it's a time-bomb: salary is private and should be private. And remember, ranking is organizational cancer because it says that you tautologically cannot have an organization of exclusively high performers -- which should in fact be the goal of every organization.

How do you as a leader continue to ensure an innovative, dev-centric engineering culture as your organization grows?

I think you need to encourage people to take risks, back them up when those risks fail, recognize them when those risks pay off -- and constantly connect everyone to the larger mission. I'm not sure if I'm succeeding on that front or not, but to a degree the proof is in the pudding: and we have been (and have continued to be) able to pull off things in system software that amaze and delight -- which is a pretty high bar for a layer of software that has much more ability to enrage than to please!

Just wondering, what happens when you anthropomorphize Larry Ellison? More seriously, what was it like working on the Bonwick team, and have you accomplished a similar environment at Joyent?

Bonwick had an enormous influence on me in that he got me to change my expectations of myself: prior to working at Sun, I viewed defects as inevitable and that software was like much else that we engineered (namely, fated to be plagued by unknowable and transient errors). But in working with Jeff -- who came to software from math, not from engineering -- I came to appreciate that the better analogue for software is a mathematical proof, and that the beauty in software is that we fashion a proof that functions as a machine. As a result, we (and and we in software alone) can create machines that are **perfect**. This was tremendously inspiring to me, and has had a profound effect on my career and in the pleasure I take in the work. In terms of accomplishing the same at Joyent, I certainly aspire to inspire software engineers in the same way. I think sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail -- but I think the successes have outnumbered the failures, and I continue to be inspired by the team that we have built here.
