Found this following from Simon Willison to Rafe Colburn to Ryan Tomayko. Most people are keying on the quote pulled out on Tomayko about GitHub's dev process.
At GitHub we don't have a project tracker or todo list -- we just all work on whatever is most interesting to us. [...] it's the most agile, focused and efficient team I've ever worked with.
A few comments do the "this can't work for X" or "this only works because of Y" meme and some are valid points. I think it's more interesting to ask why this work for GitHub?
My initial take is that it works because GitHub's team is small, has a defined, focused mission for their site, and shares this passion among devs for making the site as good as it can be as fast as possible.
