ICs are individual contributors.
Individual contributors, yeah, who actually do the actual work.
Yeah, honestly, Opendoor would have died had it not been for maybe a dozen people.
There's a lot to be learned from books.
But if Opendoor could have been fixed by following something that was written in a book, it would have already been fixed.
Look, there's two things.
One, the people you hire is the company you build.
So the first week at Opendoor, I changed our career page.
Our career page used to say something along the lines of, this is a happy place to work where we all care about each other.
And by the way, here are all of our ERGs.
Opendoor's career page now says, this will be hard.
Like, our job is to attract people who want to work hard.
And we don't, like, we say this is not for you.
Like, my job is to try to convince you to not work at Opendoor.
Such that if you come, you're highly committed.
So that's one thing.
So the people end up being the company.
The second thing ends up being that over a very long amount of time,
groups of people tend to have tendencies towards niceties.
So everyone ends up telling each other nice lies, a series of white lies that take very off course.
