One of my favourite documents in this genre remains "THE ELEVEN LAWS OF SHOWRUNNING", about how to run production of a TV show

It's unintentionally a fantastic guide to being an engineering manager, or startup founder, or indeed any role where you need a bunch of different creative people to understand and work together to bring about a creative vision:

@timbray the leaked MrBeast one or the Showrunner one?

The MrBeast one may well have been booted offline already - it's a leak but there are a whole load of copies floating around I think, search for "HOW TO SUCCEED IN MRBEAST PRODUCTION pdf" and other copies may show up

@simon @timbray
Was it hosted directly on Twitter? I was curious to look through it but it doesn’t load for me because I have Twitter blocked at the DNS level. Therefore I can’t tell if it’s my own blocking or if it was deleted.

(I chose to block Twitter via DNS so sometimes I miss out on interesting links and that is ok with me)
