I worked there for a bit in 2006 (Live 6/7) when there were only 13 programmers. That's an important threshold where you need to change from just having casual discussions to having a formalized structure. At the time it was frustrating and they really needed to make some changes. They knew that and they were open to it, but it takes time.
