    I first got to try Sim Ant a lot later than release. I found that I could just fast forward (I don’t remember how, maybe on ZSNES emulator?), and the win rate without touching anything was at least 50%.

    I’d love to see a remake that both allowed for little micromanaging and made your gameplay consequential. Perhaps if they player had a hand in programming the ants’ behavior. Maybe make an Visual Ant Language or something that looks like Scratch and as the game progresses you get more steps to drop in.

    if anyone ends up in a leadership role, your job is to remove obstacles from your workers, avoid people from interfering with your workers, give your workers what they need to succeed, co-ordinate between your workers , fill the gaps in their knowledge, and take the shittiest tasks that are leftover.

      if anyone ends up in a leadership role, your job is to remove obstacles from your workers, avoid people from interfering with your workers (…)

      Meaning: stop other “leaders” from ever coming remotely near your people.

        yes, but if your person is specialised to the point where they would be able to resolve the matter best, let them have the cross discipline/personal leadership to be a representative of your team/project to allow them to grow.

          Ideally, yes. But it’s not just on the person, it’s on the entire organisation to utilize that person best.

          If everyone starts asking the senior engineer to fill potholes, because he does it so neatly, a manager should definitely start telling everyone they can request the senior engineers time through the manager.

          But if everyone acts like a professional and considers the whole structure, instead of just themselves, then people can manage themselves just fine.

      I’m incredibly lucky right now this is exactly what my current boss does. It’s wonderful and I actually feel like I can get a lot of work done (at least when we’re not bogged down with the corporate mandated giant ‘scrum’ meetings)
