Man, it was such an unbelievably different environment. You know, I've now done social media, advertising, online video, food delivery, a regulated bank, and now Stablecoins. And they're all dramatically different. And I think that the most striking difference with Deliveroo compared to Facebook, both are fast-paced.

But Deliveroo plays a game every day from breakfast to dinner, which doesn't stop. Every order is being delivered in real time. It's either on time or not. You either have enough riders to deliver on time or not. It's either raining or it's not. It's Sunday night and everybody's starving. The restaurant is overrun by riders standing outside waiting for the food to be cooked.

And then at the end of the day, you look at how many orders you did and whether or not you grew from the day before. It is a real-time, unbelievable exercise in logistics, but also just physical movement, which leads to a dramatically different culture and way of working and way of building software than you get when you're building a... Does that impact your way of building product? It can't not.

So how does it then? Well, you ship things quicker. You test more. Facebook. I mean, Facebook ships unbelievably quickly, or at least I assume it still does. I mean, when I was there, I mean, the pace of shipping was just unreal. I'm not sure that Deliveroo or I assume, you know, Uber is like this or DoorDash, you know, I think it's more. that there's more a feeling of urgency.

At a real-time logistics company, which is moving food for people who get cranky if it doesn't arrive in 32 minutes, you're shipping in real time in order to ensure that you're fulfilling your brand promise in just a fundamentally different way than if you're doing social media or anything like that.
