So when I talk to founders, they ask, okay, how do you get to this?

What would you say as things to remember?

One is keep it simple.

Sometimes, maybe to the point of stupid, we actually always keep it as simple as possible until it breaks, right?

So there are a lot of things that my team wants to buy, instrumentations.

So this experiment that we run, we didn't spend three months trying to find the right framework to install.

another three months implementing it, and then getting the right feature flag or whatever that you do.

We just want and go ahead and do whatever we can with what we have.

That mentality of keeping it simple has been ingrained in our team for a decade.

And then staying lean.

Zero to one simplicity is hard to maintain as the company grows, as the revenue grows.

And I want to make sure that we don't fall into the trap of hiring more people mean they can build more things or build things faster.

I think we have a lot of engineering founders here.

Do you guys remember the book called Mythical Man-Man?

Yep.

And it's an OG, old engineering principle book.

What they're saying is just because you add more people doesn't mean you get things done faster.

Because of the communication overhead and square between the people, you actually slow down.

So we treat our employees really well.

We have a very high expectation for their performance.
