The aura of speed permeates every aspect of the product cycle. Software is written at a breakneck pace, and it is made available for testing on the Web as soon as it works. New technologies, and the students developing them, are acquired straight out of university labs. Workers are contacted, interviewed and hired in days. When that is not fast enough, Netscape acquires entire teams with their work in progress by purchasing the whole company, as with Collabra.
Tactics are fluid and change by the minute.
Netscape will sacrifice almost anything for speed. You have to take a lot of responsibility upon yourself. The world is reinvented every few minutes. To try to put it in a word, it's invigorating. If I had one more word, it might be encompassing.
