Primary Evidence
"General Magic was an experiment. Not just in what we were making—and we were making something wholly, ridiculously, almost unbelievably new—but also in how to structure a company. The team was so impressive, packed with genius after genius, that there was no regard for “management.” No defined process. We just kind of . . . made stuff. Whatever our leaders thought would be cool."
