Wing has been on a mission for about 13 years now to solve the last mile problem.
If you could just have anything that fits in a bread box.
like appear anywhere you are anything that could fit in that bread box in like a couple minutes for like a dollar that's like nearly a teleporter it would fundamentally change how we think not just about things like food delivery but i have a hammer hammer in my garage the person next door to me has a hammer in their garage like we could probably share one hammer across like 10 000 of us but we don't have a way for the hammer to move around
right libraries are like basically useless at this point but if you could actually have the book come to fly to you like harry potter owl post and then fly home again all of a sudden those books are not stranded assets anymore it's just so much about the world this would change so as we were coming to launch this was now about 10 years ago i sat down the whole wing team and i said
It is not today.
It is three months from now.
And our launch has been an unmitigated disaster.
We feel physically sick it went so bad.
We can't even look each other in the eyes when we walk by each other in the hallway.
And you know, you know why it went so bad.
This is a test.
You have two minutes.
There's paper in front of each of you.
Write down why it went so bad.
And by moving people from a pride and the launch fever that can kick in to that 16-year-old, you want to get an A on the test kind of thing and prove how smart you are, everyone started frantically writing down all of the things that were wrong with Wing.
And this was about a month before the launch.
And once they had written for two minutes, I said, great, let's organize everything you wrote down and
Sort the list, start fixing things.
And we had a great launch.
So that is one of like a hundred tricks that X has to help people work through, you know, some people might call a softer version of that a premortem.
