Exactly.
You end up rewarding and punishing people who make the right estimates.
So you incentivize estimates that are longer than they should take so that they can hit those estimates.
So it's a very simple tactical thing that you could do.
But it's hard because you need the natural ability to understand how quickly it is to actually develop things.
And it's hard to do that without expertise in the thing that you're building.
it's hard for non-engineers to know how long an engineering task can take if you're really good at it it's hard for designers to know how long a design task should take etc so not following a lot of the processes that other companies follow because very often process gets in the way i think process are a good way to move you to
average in a discipline if you feel like you're below average but often some of the people who are most extreme on how fast i move or on any dimension that you're trying to measure tend to do things in a very odd non-standard way so avoiding standards is probably one way we do this
This is an interesting one.
I think a big misconception is that the reason payments are maybe more expensive than some merchants would like them to be online is because Visa takes such a big cut.
That's not true at all.
One of the reasons that maybe card payments might be a little bit more expensive for merchants in the US is a lot of
that expense comes in the form of rewards for consumers and American consumers are very, very attached to their rewards.
It's going to be interesting to see in what areas people are willing to give up any of their rewards in order to, I don't know, maybe get a differentiated experience in some way and the merchants get cheaper payments.
But the stablecoin promise as it stands today
For merchants is one where payments are maybe faster and cheaper, but it's still not very clear what it is for consumers or the people paying.
Because at the end of the day, if you want to buy something, you just care about the price and how quickly it's going to ship to you and the quality and things like that.
Do you really care how you're paying or what is happening behind the scenes?
No.
Really.
