cross-pollination happening but i want to feel like they can like do stuff without us having to be a bottleneck to their stuff does that make sense yeah yeah i gotcha and i think the way i always look at this stuff is uh i feel like companies always fall into these like two distinct phases where there's an initial phase where

cross-pollination happening but i want to feel like they can like do stuff without us having to be a bottleneck to their stuff does that make sense yeah yeah i gotcha and i think the way i always look at this stuff is uh i feel like companies always fall into these like two distinct phases where there's an initial phase where

you have all these crazy ideas that you want to do, but you just can't do them in this initial phase. Yeah. Then you hit some kind of milestone where then you can now start doing a lot of things that was kind of the point of even starting the company in the first place. But that like sometimes takes like years and sometimes companies like never even get there.

you have all these crazy ideas that you want to do, but you just can't do them in this initial phase. Yeah. Then you hit some kind of milestone where then you can now start doing a lot of things that was kind of the point of even starting the company in the first place. But that like sometimes takes like years and sometimes companies like never even get there.

Um, so to me, I feel like we're like in that initial phase, I don't think we're far from being out of it. Uh, But it's going to feel uncomfortable whenever we have these like really exciting things because we don't really have a mechanism to. There's so much foundation to lay before we can do that.

Um, so to me, I feel like we're like in that initial phase, I don't think we're far from being out of it. Uh, But it's going to feel uncomfortable whenever we have these like really exciting things because we don't really have a mechanism to. There's so much foundation to lay before we can do that.

you're saying maybe there's just this phase we're in and eventually we get into a phase where more of these kind of things that we dream up and want to do actually happen yeah yeah i don't think we're that far from it there's just some stuff that uh we need to set up and it's funny to think like it's it's always easy to forget because we're always focused on the next thing and we like forget of all the things that have added up already yeah like we don't think at all about our

you're saying maybe there's just this phase we're in and eventually we get into a phase where more of these kind of things that we dream up and want to do actually happen yeah yeah i don't think we're that far from it there's just some stuff that uh we need to set up and it's funny to think like it's it's always easy to forget because we're always focused on the next thing and we like forget of all the things that have added up already yeah like we don't think at all about our

coffee purchases at all yeah it just happens it's like totally that was like that used to be something that was like such a focus and good point uh every single week we were like trying to make that happen and now we like don't even think about it at all so i think eventually some of the stuff we're working on now we'll get there and then you know we'll have more leverage to do some of these bigger things uh yeah it's gonna be uncomfortable it's over there

coffee purchases at all yeah it just happens it's like totally that was like that used to be something that was like such a focus and good point uh every single week we were like trying to make that happen and now we like don't even think about it at all so i think eventually some of the stuff we're working on now we'll get there and then you know we'll have more leverage to do some of these bigger things uh yeah it's gonna be uncomfortable it's over there

but did what i said does it make any sense to you like yeah that makes total sense yeah i think the way you described just like the leanings of the people make sense and people yeah i think not being able to make the stuff they want to make happen is uh is not good

but did what i said does it make any sense to you like yeah that makes total sense yeah i think the way you described just like the leanings of the people make sense and people yeah i think not being able to make the stuff they want to make happen is uh is not good

run stuff through the company or something like how does that make sense i feel like there's like a a disconnect where they can't just do those things and i don't know what it is so like i think what you're describing is the idea is born and then nothing ever happens after and part of that is because maybe they like literally can't make it happen uh that's half of it but i think the other half is actually just a little bit of uh i don't know what the right word here is but

it's the same dynamic where everybody in the planet, not everybody, but every engineer in the planet has ideas for like side projects or whatever. And like such a small fraction of people, uh, get it to happen because it's very easy to underestimate, like all this other invisible stuff around these things that you need to do.

And like such a small fraction of people, uh, get it to happen because it's very easy to underestimate, like all this other invisible stuff around these things that you need to do.

And then when you start doing it, you're like suddenly become aware of it. And then your motivation just, or you get distracted or it goes, it goes away. So yeah, like that muscle, I think it's just a little weaker with them because they just, this is like not something that they've done a lot.

Yeah. Yeah. And this just comes down to like, uh, like for a high performing team, everyone has to understand everything. There's like just no way around that. Um, so if you don't like really know how. the details of what it looks like from having the idea to making it happen. You just don't build up the sense around that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And this just comes down to like, uh, like for a high performing team, everyone has to understand everything. There's like just no way around that.
