Leaked Valve Employee Handbook?

PC Gamer reproduces what's purported to be a handbook for new employees at Valve, the privately held video game developer that created Half-Life half a lifetime ago. This appears to be bona fide, and offers additional details and insights on the company's unusual hierarchy and way of conducting business.

Indeed. Their management method seems to have a gaping hole: who does the boring work, and how do you decide who gets stuck doing it?

Depends on what you consider boring. They've hired experts for marketing, documentation, PR, etc. Also the handbook mentions contractors and outside help. Outsource the boring bits
