I felt about 6/8 of those applied for more then just programming stuff.
I have heard other people write very simular stuff. It didn't seem that original.
I also dont agree with the last one.

8. Establish a dictatorship, then silence your opponents. If your first project is a group effort, then decide who will become the project leader and quell any dissenters. Working in a group can be both a rewarding and disastrous experience. Although that's probably the subject for another article entirely, I will add that smaller teams tend to work best with a dictatorship. If everyone has an equal say, and all decide that they have the better direction for the project, then leave the team as, in the end, you risk accomplishing nothing.

I think that a group can have 100% equal say
and still get the game done and sometimes better then a distatorship.
This sounds like its coming from some one who likes to have full power in a project.
My friends and I made a board game. It was kinda all of our idea and it stayed that way through the whole thing. We had no problems because we think the same way. If we disagreed with eachother then mabey it would have been better to have a distatorship but then why would you want to make a game with people who didn't want to make the same game? In my oppinion people come up with the best stuff if they have equal say.
(Although I shouldn't really be one to talk, I do almost every thing solo)
You should have seen that last fight! Out numbered 40 to 2... We beat them both =)
