Honestly, from the enterprise IT perspective?

Fuck yes I love this attitude to transparency and code-based organization. This is the kind of stuff that gets me going in the morning for work, the kind of organization and utility I honestly aspire to implement someday.

As many commenters rightly point out, this doesn't run the human side of the company. It could, though, if the company took this approach seriously enough. My personal two cents, it could be done as a separate monorepo, provided the company and its staff remain disciplined in its execution and maintenance. It'd be far easier to have a CSV dictate employees and RBAC rather than bootstrapping Active Directory and fussing with its integrations/tentacles. Putting department processes into open documentation removes obfuscation and a significant degree of process politics, enabling more staff to engage in self-service rather than figuring out who wields the power to do a thing.

I really love everything about this, and I'd like to see more of it, AI or not. Less obfuscation and more transparency is how you increase velocity in any organization.
