And that's essentially, and that's part of the reason why like Airbnb is one of the, as you know, is one of the examples that we open blitzscaling the book up with to kind of show the modern example of these are a set of decisions that you make. And then I forget which chapter, but there's like eight counterintuitive rules in blitzscaling in the middle, which is like embracing chaos and hiring Ms.
Right now versus Ms. Right in three to five years. Because again, with the learning curve, those are all things you're doing to go, go fast now, go fast now, go fast now, and iterate and change. And that's part of why Silicon Valley is produces just transformational technology companies for the world.

Yes, or any form of efficiency. One of the things that I learned remotely from Uber, because they were another blood-scaling company we covered elements of in the book, is one of the things when Uber's like, oh my God, we need to hire engineers really fast. So what they would do is they'd interview an engineer, reference check an engineer, and they'd offer engineer Sarah a job.

And then when they offer engineers here a job, they say, okay, well, we would like to interview with you. Who are the top three people you work with at your current company? And then just send those three people job offers. That's blitzscaling. Because it's like, well, maybe they're not going to really work out.

People think it's a little weird and creepy that they got a job offer out of the blue with a pitch. But it's part of the going fast. And so it's not just profitability. It's efficiency in everything.
