Have any pontificators-on-software who favor self-organization engaged with the famous-in-certain-circles essay “The Tyranny of Structurelessness”?

It’s a description of how what I might call self-organization fails. But there are examples of how it’s succeeded (as in, I think, /Governing the Commons/).

It would be super-useful to discuss what factors push toward success and what push against.

I’d like to address this in the podcast.
