You list several different scenarios of which hackers integrate into successful companies:

Hackers started the company after failing repeatedly until they succeeded

Hackers are employed but their work is kept secret until it is good enough

You then go on to suggest that hacking must be balanced in order to be successful, because otherwise it is disruptive and results in chaos.

It would be nice to see some explanation of how to properly balance hacking without "hiding away" the "hackers".

For example, some discussion on how google allows hacking intentionally a percentage of the time, and the rest is more directed.
